We enter seas of change throughout our lives. At times we may encounter the dark night of the soul. Whether a major emotional or physical trauma, or more general, though no less important issue affecting our quality of life, the psychological depth of Jungian analysis offers one opportunity for self-exploration, growth and healing within the creative spirit that lives within the soul. It’s not uncommon for us to reach a time in life when we feel that we have lost our way. The roles we have played, the “masks” we have worn in order to “fit in” or to satisfy the expectations of others, no longer feeds or sustains us.
We all have the potential to discover our true self and our purpose in life. Exploring dreams the unconscious sends us, understanding the importance of symbols, utilizing active imagination, contemplating archetypes found in myth, fairy tale and film, or expressing one’s self through various creative arts, all are pathways to a deeper meaning and knowing of the relevance of one’s unique, individuating, lifetime journey.
