"The right way to wholeness is made up of fateful detours and wrong turnings" - Carl Jung
The Jungian approach to Analysis and Psychotherapy includes asking what is the purpose and meaning of suffering and exploring it as something that is useful to becoming whole. This process has been discussed as an alchemical transformation in Jung's writing. The butterfly is a symbol of transformation in nature.
Exploring issues deeply allows psyche to open up to what may be holding back the body, mind and soul from becoming wholly itself. The foundation of psyche is emotion and Jung's analytical method of psychotherapy finds transformation of emotions begins with their expression.
Learning to identify what your true feelings and thoughts are from those you've always believed about you and the world you live in, is often a first step. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. Mutual trust between patient and therapist fosters a relationship of self-acceptance, discovery of what you most long for and the fear that's in the way.
You know you're ready to begin therapy when you're no longer satisfied with the way your life happens to you, and want to connect to a fuller expression of who you are and increase your sense of personal choice.
