Welcome to Psyche’s Spring, my Depth Psychology Blog exploring exciting opportunities to help you open to awareness, initiate personal growth, and enhance your interactive skills. In Psyche’s Spring I will be discussing different ways to think about what may be keeping you stuck in attitudes or behaviors which are no longer working for you, issues that could be at the root of challenges in your interpersonal life, and how to help you start becoming the person you know yourself to be deep down inside. Topics to be featured include:
- Personal Growth and Awareness
- Increasing Self-Esteem
- Interpersonal Challenges
- Couples Communication
- Parenting Strategies for Dealing with Children and Adolescents
- Expanding Creativity
- Opening to the Power of Your Authentic Voice
Articles in Psyche’s Spring will introduce exciting ways to deepen your understanding of who you are by tapping into the wealth of your unconscious mind and opening to the wisdom of the body. This type of work is called Depth Psychology. Mind-Body methods for exploring the depths of your inner wisdom and creativity include:
- Embodiment and Somatic Awareness
- Mindfulness Techniques
- Shamanic Walks
- Using the Labyrinth as a Tool for Personal Growth
- Dream Interpretation
- Working with Fairy Tales, Myth, and Archetypes
- Alternative Therapies: Art, Drama, Sandplay
I will post articles describing this kind of work from a personal point of view as well as articles offering a more substantial exploration of the theory and/or practice of depth psychology. In addition, practical strategies will be offered for confronting specific challenges with partners and children as understood from a mind-body perspective.
