What is Depth Psychology?

Depth Psychology in Therapy in 2023. Depth psychology, born from the work of psychoanalytic pioneers like Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, delves into the unconscious parts of our psyche. It explores the hidden parts of ourselves, diving beneath the surface of our conscious minds to bring understanding and healing.

Dream Analysis: Deciphering the Unconscious

Dream analysis, a key component of depth psychology, treats dreams as a vital gateway to the unconscious. Therapists guide clients in deciphering their dream's symbolic language, revealing repressed desires, fears, or experiences.

Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious

Carl Jung introduced the concepts of archetypes (universal symbols) and the collective unconscious (shared experiences across humanity). Recognizing these patterns in therapy can lead to profound insights about our behavior and relationships.

Active Imagination: Engaging the Inner World

Active imagination, another Jungian method, encourages clients to engage with their unconscious mind through imaginative dialogue, visualization, or art. This interaction can lead to a greater understanding of oneself and enhanced personal growth.

The Power of Myth and Symbol

In depth psychology, myth and symbol are seen as pathways to deeper self-understanding. Whether from dreams, art, or narratives, these symbols can shed light on our personal and collective unconscious.
