WEBINAR
Introduction to Jungian Somatics
"The separation of psychology from the premises of biology is purely artificial, because the human psyche lives in indissoluble union with the body… So what is the body? The body is merely the visibility of the soul, the psyche; and the soul is the psychological experience of the body."
— C.G. Jung
ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
In this 2.5-hour webinar, be introduced to a body of work — Jungian Somatics™ — that Jane has been developing over the last several years. We will explore why it was imperative to understand the structure and function of the psyche through a Jungian depth psychology lens.
After specializing in harnessing the intelligence of the body while supporting people living with shock or complex trauma histories, it became acutely clear that the body does not have all the answers and that in working only with the body, there are limits to what can be offered to clients whose suffering is tenacious and prolific.
WHAT YOU'LL EXPLORE
Key concepts you will be introduced to
How exploring the body through a symbolic lens opens doors to the unconscious psyche.
How nervous system theory needs to include an understanding of the structure of the psyche.
How somatic awareness and practices are woven into psychoanalytic practice.
Why searching for answers to our suffering in the body can be limited and sometimes make people feel more 'broken'.
Why the concept of releasing trauma conflicts with the structure of the psyche and depth psychology knowledge.
