Who look outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.
(C. G. Jung)
Jungian analysis aims, together with the client, to find an understanding of the unconscious needs and sides of personality that lie behind the psychological symptoms and problems. These needs and sides of personality may have been forbidden or unaccepted and thus have been denied existence. The person may feel that he/she is living a life defined by someone else or may experience that to be accepted, he/she has to conform to external expectations. He/she loses touch with him/herself.
To find a way back, one must look inside. In jungian therapy the analyst is a co-traveller, who supports the client in his/her journey back to him/herself. In addition to talk, dream work, active imagination and body work are utilized as methods.
