What is the theory behind this Jungian therapy worksheet?
This worksheet is based on Carl Jung’s analytical therapy approach which is a type of psychotherapy aimed at accessing an individual’s unconscious mind to address deep rooted issues which are believed to be the cause of their current distress.
One of the techniques used in Jungian therapy is dream analysis. Jung believed that dreams contain symbolism that reflects one’s inner conscious and unconscious psyche. Thus interpreting them can reveal an individual’s innermost conflicts that are the root cause of their current distress and maladaptive behaviour.
How will the worksheet help?
