Jungian analysis pays attention to the unconscious aspects of the psyche and our relationship to them. This exploration can provide the conditions for movement towards wholeness, a natural process of human growth which Jung termed “individuation”. Suffering and symptoms are considered as meaningful in the journey towards becoming who we are truly meant to be.
Our work together may include illuminating historical factors that have contributed to your current experience, but would not be limited to this alone. The unconscious is also a wellspring of unrealised potential that may be accessed in service of the development of the personality.
Therefore, work with the unconscious may include paying close attention to images, symbols and dreams. Working with dreams, the imagination and creative expression is often, but not always, an important part of Jungian Analysis. The relationship between analyst and client can be another mode in which the unconscious communicates, and reflecting on this dynamic may also form an important part of analysis.
