Alchemical Space: A formless approach to Shadow integration.
One of my passions is to combine Buddhism with Jungian analysis. In this blog I explore how spaciousness is the fundamental ground of our minds and how it this that instigates shadow integration. This may seem niche or obscure to some and I am not sure if I will be scaring off potential clients. However, my feeling is this a valuable insight into how psychotherapy actually works. Change is instigated from the bottom up from non-egoic processes. It works from a process of surrendering and relaxation into something greater than the individual self rather than task led 'doing'. I hope you find it interesting.
What is Psychotherapy? Exploring Soul, Beauty and Healing
In this blog I set out my philosophy of what psychotherapy is. My view is that therapy should nurture and tend to who we are underneath the surface of our normal ego-level awareness. It is only by doing this that we can work towards freedom and resolve. I look at the etymology of the words healing and psychotherapy to demonstrate this.
