Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
— Carl Gustav Jung

DREAMWORK

DREAMS are a pure EXPRESSION OF THE UNCONSCIOUS.

Consciousness is important, yet it is only a fraction of who we are.

The unconscious is the realm where the totality of our being and experiences lie. This is the storehouse of our personal history as collected through our senses - information that often bypasses consciousness.

When we sleep our conscious mind goes offline, the mind that protects, inhibits, hides, censors and restricts our true Self. Dreams reflect the current state of our nervous system, and help us to process our emotions and experiences.

Unconscious material emerges within the dreamscape in a symbolic language of feelings, images and metaphors. When we tune into the language of our inner reality, we are given the opportunity to learn about ourselves and what we can do to create change in our outer reality.

To live aligned with your whole Self we must integrate unconscious and conscious.

More often than not, these shadowy parts of our unconscious are the attitudes and energies that drive you in waking life.

From a Jungian perspective the psyche, the mind, is a self-regulating system, seeking harmony and wholeness. Therefore the unconscious tends to illustrate the bigger picture of your life - what is missing from conscious awareness.

Alongside the arts, dreams serve as both a window and a bridge to our true selves.

Your unconscious inner world must be expressed, witnessed and integrated into consciousness to enable you to digest experiences, understand yourself deeply, to live, to learn, to heal and to point the way towards your highest potentials and life’s possibilities.

dreamworking with me

Your dreams are deeply personal.

They communicate in an innate language unique to you - their creator, and just like dreams, meaning is also created, by you and you alone.

I do not interpret or analyse your dreams, rather I guide you through processes of discovering meanings for yourself.

Only you can determine what your dream means.

Our sessions will involve, not only thorough discussions, but also creative, embodied and experiential approaches, such as art-making and guided imagery. If you are new to these practices, we will take things gently, at your own pace.

For those curious about the use of Tarot cards as a tool for projection, representation, self-reflection and insight, we can also include this powerful art into the mix.

Dreamwork can be interwoven into therapy, and it can also be explored separately as a practice of its own in Seeker Sessions for self-development.
