Jungian therapy
Archetypes and shadows
Jungian therapy is a form of psychotherapy based on the theories of Carl Jung, emphasizing exploration of the unconscious mind through dreams, symbols, and archetypes.
The approach aims to integrate conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche—a process Jung called individuation.
Unlike Freudian analysis, Jungian therapy focuses less on childhood sexuality and more on spiritual and mythological dimensions of experience: Her Jungian therapist asked what the recurring snake in her dreams might symbolize.
