Feel Young Again With Jungian Therapy

By Jason Brown


One thing that surprises many people about this and the other types of therapies that are part of the same category is the fact that the main thing a patient does in these sessions is talks. While some people might not be able to imagine how this could possibly be truly helpful on as deep of a level as it is said to, the judgment-free environment and skillful guidance of the therapist makes it highly effective. That is why so many people are reaping the benefits of Jungian therapy.

The thing that this type of analysis does more so than other talk therapies is it goes very deep into a person's psyche and analyzes it. It is in this process that the treatment is able to help the patient become balanced by the end of the process. This can only happen when a person's unconscious and conscious parts of their mind can be brought together and reconciled.

Even though this type of analysis is simply a matter of talking and might seem quite simple, it does pose some difficult challenges to the patient that might be hard for them to overcome. In order for the sessions to go as deep as necessary, the patient must allow their thoughts to be brought down to that deep level. While the analyst is highly trained in guiding their patients, they must be met halfway by the person undergoing treatment for it to be truly effective.

Sessions will usually start off easy and grow more in-depth from there. While some people might wear their hearts on their sleeves, it is oftentimes harder for others to truly speak candidly. It is often a process of peeling of the emotional layers in order to get to the true core of who someone is.

At one point or another in these sessions, a person's personal demons are going to come up if they have any. Almost everyone has some form of demon or dark thoughts that they wrestle with, so a patient should be prepared for this kind of experience. The therapist is professionally trained to help a person handle this, so this can help give a person confidence in this process.

There are so many people who can benefit from this type of treatment. Emotional issues such as low self-esteem, depression, grief, and plenty of others are prime examples of what this therapy helps with. It is also a great thing to try for someone who just wants to understand and get to know him or herself better.

The single most important part of these types of sessions is the talking that the patient does, but that is by no means the limits of what can be used by the therapist. Sometimes a dream journal is an easy window into the psyche because the mind is freely telling itself stories at that time. Analyzing and talking about these dreams can be very revealing.

Sometimes therapists will have patients experience something creative like music or art. This helps to get a person talking more freely. From there, the session can quickly become more meaningful.
