The Techniques Of Jungian Therapy

By Maria White


Freud and Jung were the forefathers of psychotherapy. They differed in their approach somewhat. Jung pulled away and developed other theories. As years went by, other theories have been developed. However, one always holds on to Freud and Jungian therapy. There are many different aspects to look at and this will vary from one person to the next.

A therapist may fully believe in one theory because they find it effective or they find the success rate to be high. They may specialize with this in a certain area. Some therapists will only use this occasionally. They are flexible in the way in which they manage their clients. They may be able to see when patients need a certain technique.

For example, there are people that can benefit from this type of therapy, but there are other people who may not be able to express themselves. This is why they should rather try and turn to creative therapy, for example. This will help them to feel a sense of freedom as they begin to experiment with different forms of creativity.

Some people feel better talking to a group of people in a more informal setting. Sometimes, they feel that they don't get the real success rate talking to a professional psychologist because they have not been through the same ordeal in their lives. When they are in a group they can identify with the this more.

People may approach a therapist because they are having marital problems are because they don't know their purpose. You could be stuck in your job or you could be feeling more and more depressed. As the analyst begins to ask questions, you will begin to remember more about your life which is obviously relevant.

Many people don't look into a specific type of therapist. They may simply find that they are struggling in their life. It could be with depression or anxiety. Some people have issues in the home environment or in the work place. Stress always creeps in when you are not happy with yourself. You may feel that you are simply stuck and have many unanswered questions.

Psychotherapy of this variety deals with the unconscious and the subconscious. People are not often aware of their childhood and how this come into play. However, it most certainly does have an impact on your life. Slowly you may have certain memories that can flash up here and there. These are not easy to deal with, because you will need to become vulnerable.

It is not something that everyone is happy doing. In saying that, when you have the courage and the determination to get to this point, you will find that you can really begin to turn your life around. The therapy deals with the individual and the difference between the introvert and the extrovert. There is also the shadow that is so relevant in this approach. It seems like a dark part of the therapy, but it is actually realistic and something that is very powerful. Everyone has a shadow, and it can be advantageous. It depends on how you make use of this.
