Orientation &
Approach
| I work primarily from a
Jungian perspective. This general approach emphasizes the
importance of the unconscious and the importance and normalcy of
change. The need for change may begin with an outer event, such
as an illness, a divorce or a career change, or it may begin with a
personal awareness that something feels wrong. In either case,
when our old patterns of behavior or our ideas or emotional responses
are too narrow for our current situation, a new understanding is
needed. If we get stuck or if the change requires an
understanding of unconscious influences, then "symptoms" appear;
symptoms might include anxiety, depression, unresolvable anger,
confusion, excessive self-criticism or self doubt, malaise, loss of
energy, loss of creativity. I work with clients to find a way
through the needed changes, to discover a larger perspective for
understanding themselves and their lives. |
Personal
Comments
| I view my
role as similar to a midwife's; I am trying to facilitate a normal and
necessary development. This process reflects general life dilemmas
with which we all struggle, particular patterns or beliefs that
reflect the specific family and community in which the person grew up,
and the unique nature of the person.
The process is guided by reflecting on
conscious experience and by reflecting on the unconscious as observed
in recurring problems and emotional responses, dreams, drawings or active imagination. Every person is unique and so the work is always unique, always new. |
