About
What went wrong? Jungian psychoanalysis is the mutual process of addressing this question by lingering at the intersection of what's unknown to and about you. It's sometimes differentiated from psychotherapy. Whereas psychotherapy generally aims to help you cope with life's inevitable difficulties, psychoanalysis usually attempts to address symbolic patterns that give character to such difficulties. Distinctions between the two disciplines are however often unnecessary in practice. In my role, I attempt to meet you in where you are, with what you are expressing, and by what is communicated between us. Advice-giving and direct guidance are not associated with psychoanalysis. No generic compassion, no worksheets. You're instead encouraged to speak as openly as possible. Any thought or fantasy, any feeling or emotion, may be important to the process—even and especially if it's about me or the analysis itself. "In this house" we work with dreams! The time commitment for psychoanalysis varies; everyone and every situation is unique. The goal for every analysis remains nevertheless shared: to deepen participation in psychological life. A hopeful side effect of this work is therefore the freedom to act on yourself. I'm happy to chat with anyone considering analysis and welcome your outreach as such.
