What do our earliest dreams reveal about the hidden forces shaping our lives?

Childhood dreams offer unmediated access to the collective unconscious, revealing symbols that shape lifelong development. These dreams often dramatize psyche's early encounters with polarities, fostering individuation through the integration of opposites. Nightmares and numinous imagery invite engagement with shadow and the sacred, acting as catalysts for growth and transformation. By revisiting childhood dreams through active imagination, individuals unlock their latent meanings. These dreams serve as both initiations into personal mythology and ongoing reservoirs of psychic energy, guiding the journey toward wholeness.

Prepare to discover what early encounters with archetypal images reveal about psyche's relationship to the collective unconscious, how psyche uses symbolic opposites to foster growth and balance, which recurring symbols and universal patterns guide psychological transformation, whether unresolved experiences from early life hold latent potential, why numinous imagery provides a foundation for understanding life's deeper meanings…and so much more.

'Tis the season to join Joseph, Lisa, and Deb in a Jungian romp through the holiday in all its complex splendor.

1. Scrooge on the Couch: How the Numinous Transforms

Something's going on in Scrooge's soul.. and it's tired of waiting for an invitation. Pull up a chair and ponder the universal story of a man whose trauma was transformed on Christmas night.

2. Mr. Grinch on the Couch (01:13:55)

What if the Grinch was in psychotherapy? Sit in while we discuss his clinical case and wonder if his struggles come from a deep-seated inferiority complex or worse.

3. Solstice: Why is the longest night so magickal? (02:14:08)

Join us as we explore retreating into the unconscious as a psychic wintering, calling our life force into the darkness to prepare for the rebirth of light within us.

4. Holiday Madness (03:26:13)

Archetypal forces gather as the nights grow longer. By the time we show up for the holiday meal, we're often on the verge of being overwhelmed. With a bit of help from three analysts, you might find helpful hints on managing the stressors.

5. Holiday Hauntings or Who ARE these people?!?! (04:20:30)

Holiday homecomings kindle visions of joy but also evoke old family patterns and unfinished business. Join three Jungian analysts who will help you successfully navigate complicated family dynamics.
