The Wisdom of the Psyche

To understand what jungian therapists do, we must first know that Swiss psychiatrist C. G. Jung opened the door to a more comprehensive understanding of ourselves.  Basic to all of us - the things in our lives we think of as being “normal” - mom, dad, birth, childhood, friendships, love marriage, religion and death make us all human.  Sometimes, though, life unfolds with discord, almost too much to handle. 

Sometimes that discord is so great we must seek help and the best help may very well come from having a jungian analysis done by trained Jungian therapists. In order to give and get good responses to our need for help, one needs a positive relationship with the therapist who will help us come to terms with the events or crises of our daily life, which may reveal where we have lost touch with ourselves.  Generally, our inner self already knows part of what’s wrong and the therapist is there to help draw out the things we don’t really want to talk about.

 Douglas Tompkins is a jungian psychoanalyst in New York.  He obtained his credentials in Zurich and New York, and is a graduate of C. G. Jung Institute in New York. He tells us there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to determine how many sessions will be needed.  At www.nyjungian.com there was a quote by C. G. Jung that needs to be repeated here in case you have missed it. “Where there is bitterness, wisdom is lacking and where wisdom is, there can be no bitterness”.  Seems to me those few words would fix a lot of so-called problems in a hurry.
