PSYCHE AND EROS: HOW EXPERIENCING ARCHETYPAL ENERGIES

THROUGH IMAGES DEEPENS OUR WORK
PRESENTER: TIM SANDERSON, MD, ATR, JUNGIAN ANALYST

To be most effective as therapists, we must be familiar with the deeply human experiences of desire for relationship and know how those experiences manifest within ourselves. It is our knowledge of our own struggles with these energies that most effectively informs our therapeutic efforts. Allowing ourselves to be immersed in the archetypal images will provide experience with those energies and with the affects through which they manifest. This workshop is aimed at developing greater depth in our work through experience with imagery particularly relevant to relationship. The workshop will include mini-lecture, reflection, art making, and discussion.

​
