Working With Our Dreams, The Nuts and Bolts of Jungian Dreamwork, Ongoing Online
What sense do we make of those confounding nightly visions we call dreams? Do dreams offer any practical purpose? How do we work with them? Jung offered an approach to understanding and dialoguing with dreams, whose roots life in the “unfathomable dark recess” of the unconscious. This online lecture focuses on the basics of Jungian dreamwork, and provides practical tools for understanding and working with our own dreams.
Ongoing online lecture at the Jung Center of Houston.
Shame, The Secret Life of Emotions, Ongoing Online
Shame is the profoundly painful experience of feeling defective and unworthy of acceptance. Etymologically related to “covering up,” shame can leave us feeling disgraced and exposed. Shame is a universal emotion and not reserved for the few “unfortunate.” Despite its universality, shame lurks in the shadows, as it is a “negative” emotion that few will admit. In fact, the experience of the feeling itself constellates shame, and thus falls into what Jung called “the shadow,” making it one of the most difficult feelings to understand and manage. In this program, we will explore the meaning and value of shame to our psychological functioning, the role of shame to an individual’s socialization and development of identity, and we will distinguish the normal human emotion of shame from “toxic shame” which is shame as an identity and belief that one is flawed and defective. Running time: approximately 60 minutes.
