THERAPY AND ANALYSIS:

As a licensed psychologist, Dr. Jennifer Gordon serves people who suffer from a range of clinical symptoms. These are usually a result of trauma, loss and/or adjustment to transitions in life. Psychotherapy aims to improve functioning and to assist you in making changes that will get you back into life on your terms.

As a Jungian analyst, Dr. Gordon consults your nocturnal dreams to uncover what might be missing in your conscious life. Symptoms are believed to develop through one-sided adaptations to life. They are meaningful and purposeful primarily because they now have your attention, motivating you to seek another way to approach life. Dreams point the way toward healing and wholeness. Through their careful and thorough analysis, deep trust in your psyche’s own wisdom develops. Over time, discomfort itself might begin to find its place within the totality of your life. Balance between outer demands and inner imperatives can be restored.

JUNGIAN STUDIES:

To enrich and inform your personal analysis, or simply to continue your education, Dr. Gordon provides private seminars in Jungian studies.

Fairytale Groups:

Because motifs in fairytales appear in modern dreams, it is exciting to dig into these stories and discover their age-old relevance. Doing so cultivates symbolic perception — a useful spiritual tool for understanding inner and outer life. This is why, for over 25 years, Dr. Gordon continues to teach fundamentals of analytical psychology through interpreting fairytales.

CURRENT OFFERING

Psyche’s Stories: Wisdom from the Depths for the Spirit of the Times

Psyche’s Stories include fairytales, myths and ‘big dreams’ meant for all to hear. Our intention is to actively engage the symbolic language of the objective psyche in order to hear its perspective, collaborate with its creative energies and meet the challenges before us with integrity.

How might the age-old stories guide our approach to living within climate chaos? a teetering democracy? And, ultimately, each other? C.G. Jung’s analytical psychology provides a useful lens through which to answer these pressing questions and more. Intended for adults, fairytales address and reflect imbalances in ‘the ruling principles of collective consciousness’ that impact daily life. Through them, we identify with protagonists, learn what it takes to navigate impossible tasks, and find reason to hope that we, too, can grow into new states of harmony and wholeness – as one, collective life-sustaining system and as individuals who seek individuation.

Participants will learn how to apply these stories to inner and outer life, develop symbolic perception and bear witness to the interdependence of all living things! Contact Jenny to learn more!
