Jungian courses in Birmingham

Description Jungian Therapy Diploma Introducing the Jungian Therapy Diploma, a comprehensive online course tailored for those with a passion to understand the deep realms of the human psyche through the lens of Carl Jung's therapeutic approach. The course offers students a meticulous understanding of the key principles, methods, and techniques associated with this renowned therapy. As one embarks on this course, they will be introduced to the foundations of Jungian therapy. This provides a solid grounding for students, laying the cornerstone upon which all subsequent modules are built. From this foundational base, students are taken on a journey exploring the intricate structure of the psyche, understanding its components, dynamics, and interrelationships. One of the most compelling aspects of Jung's therapeutic model is the concept of archetypes and inner figures. Through this course, students gain insights into these universal symbols and how they play a pivotal role in shaping individual experiences and behaviours. By appreciating the essence of these archetypes, therapists can better relate to and assist their clients in navigating their personal challenges. Individuation, the central process of personal growth and self-realisation in Jungian psychology, is thoroughly discussed. This module illuminates the transformative journey towards the self, highlighting the complexities, challenges, and ultimate rewards of this profound personal voyage. Dreams have always been a subject of fascination in various therapeutic modalities. The Jungian Therapy Diploma sheds light on Jungian dream analysis, guiding students on how to decipher the symbolic language of dreams. The insights gained here offer invaluable tools to access the deeper layers of the unconscious mind. Active imagination and creativity, which form another pillar of Jung's approach, are explored in depth. Students learn techniques to harness the power of imagination and creative expression, fostering personal growth and healing. In the world of Jungian therapy, synchronicity, or the occurrence of meaningful coincidences, plays a significant role. This course delves into the mysterious realm of synchronicity, highlighting its significance in the therapeutic process and life in general. To effectively implement Jungian therapy, understanding the dynamics of transference and countertransference is crucial. This module provides a comprehensive overview of these phenomena, equipping therapists to navigate the therapeutic relationship with heightened awareness and skill. Given the rapid evolution of therapeutic practices in the 21st century, the course ensures that students appreciate the relevance of Jungian therapy in modern times. This segment provides context, bridging the age-old principles of Jungian therapy with contemporary practices. Lastly, the application of these theories and methods doesn't end with mere understanding. The course incorporates case studies and practical applications, allowing students to observe and practise the real-world application of Jungian therapy, reinforcing their learning and confidence. To summarise, the Jungian Therapy Diploma is a holistic online programme, meticulously crafted to offer an in-depth understanding of Carl Jung's therapeutic methods. Whether you're a budding therapist or someone with a keen interest in Jungian psychology, this course promises to be a transformative journey into the depths of the human psyche.

To understand psychopathology, one must learn a foreign language, lend an ear as it were to a language that is complex and symbolic. We aim to explore the lived experiences on irregular perceptions of reality with an open mind. Each Saturday includes: a live dialogue between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and an International Existential Therapist; a moment to share your thoughts and feelings with the teachers; and a final integration facilitated by Bárbara Godoy. This series of ten dialogues set out to explore the multifaceted dimentions and complexities associated with Existential Therapies. It attempts to engage with various interpretations of insanity through the lens of patients often painful, confounding, and deeply unsettling life experiences. Character- between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and Prof. Robert Romanyshyn “I begin with the term psychopathology to emphasize that the word is about the logos—the thinking/speaking—about the sufferings of the psyche. To understand psychopathology, one must learn a foreign language, lend an ear as it were to a language that is complex, symptomatic, symbolic, and embodied. As complex, psychopathology reveals and conceals the sufferings of psyche. As symptomatic, psychopathology reminds one of things too important to forget but which are forgotten because they are too painful to remember. As symbolic, psychopathology is neither about facts nor ideas but about images, alchemical vessels that not only hold and contain psyche’s sufferings, but also cooks them. As embodied, psyche’s sufferings are inscribed in the flesh, etched as lines of character. To practice psychotherapy as an existential therapist situates therapist and patient in a dialogical field that is complex, symptomatic, symbolic, and embodied as a gestural field between them.” Prof. Robert Romanyshyn. Prof. Robert D. Romanyshyn, an Affiliate Member of The Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, a Fellow of the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture, and a Professor Emeritus of Clinical Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, was recently awarded the Distinguished Lifetime Contributions to Humanistic Psychology Award from the Society for Humanistic Psychology APA Division 32. He has published eight books and numerous articles in psychology, philosophy, education, and literary journals. He is also a published poet and has written a one-act play about Frankenstein. In 2009 he created a multi-media DVD entitled Antarctica: Inner journeys in the Outer World, which offers a psychological reflection on the melting polar ice. In addition to online seminars and interviews, he has given lectures and workshops at universities and professional societies in the U.S., Europe, Australia, South Africa, Canada, and New Zealand. Prof. Ernesto Spinelli was Chair of the Society for Existential Analysis between 1993 and 1999 and is a Life Member of the Society. His writings, lectures and seminars focus on the application of existential phenomenology to the arenas of therapy, supervision, psychology, and executive coaching. He is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society (BPS) as well as an APECS accredited executive coach and coaching supervisor. In 2000, he was the Recipient of BPS Division of Counselling Psychology Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Profession. And in 2019, Ernesto received the BPS Award for Distinguished Contribution to Practice. His most recent book, Practising Existential Therapy: The Relational World 2nd edition (Sage, 2015) has been widely praised as a major contribution to the advancement of existential theory and practice. Living up to the existential dictum that life is absurd, Ernesto is also the author of an on-going series of Private Eye novels.

Joe Griffin reviews past theories and new research findings (which add further evidence for his own theory) as he tells the riveting story of how he solved the mystery of our dreams… Why does Nature select certain experiences to be the subject of our dreams? Why do they feel so meaningful to us? And what purpose do they serve? Fascinating - makes a lot of sense!SUPPORT WORKER Why take this course The renowned Irish psychologist Joe Griffin’s illuminating lecture answers these questions and many more as he takes us through the story of how he solved the mystery of why we dream – and discovered at the same time the significance of dreaming for our mental health. In the 20 years since Griffin first published his hypothesis, every new piece of dream and sleep research has substantiated it – none has contradicted it. In this talk, he examines the evidence and explains why other dream theories fail to come up with satisfactory answers. (His own 12 year research project was prompted by the realisation that the discovery of the REM state in 1953 meant Freudian and Jungian dream theories were ‘dead in the water’.) Whilst describing his own experiments and the key ‘light bulb’ moments which finally helped him solve this age-old mystery, he takes us on a fasincating exploration of the significance of various scientific findings in the field – some previously overlooked – before demonstrating how his expectation fulfilment theory of dreams succinctly pulls them together into a powerful explanation that makes absolute evolutionary and common sense. Nature, as ever, has been clever and economical. I appreciated how such a complex theory was expressed in a way that anyone could relate to and understand. Many ThanksNIKI What you will learn The auto-symbolic process Why all dreams have to be metaphorical to prevent false memories building up Metaphorical pattern-matching Why we evolved to suppress emotions Why dreaming was Nature’s way of conserving energy Why dreaming evolved to maintain the integrity of mammalian instincts The connection between unfulfilled emotional expectations and nightmares Dream predictions Why all mammals dream and more… Who is this course suitable for? If you deal professionally with members of the public in difficult, stressful circumstances, this course – presented without jargon – is for you If you counsel or treat angry people, this training is for you If anger is affecting you personally – or you would simply like to deepen your understanding of anger and its effects – this course will be of benefit to you too The many insights and practical applications that have stemmed from Griffin’s highly original work intro why we dream have huge significance for us all – and they have been quietly revolutionising the successful treatment of mental health and behavioural problems for years through the human givens approach to psychology, psychotherapy and education, co-founded by Joe Griffin and Ivan Tyrrell.
