This is a collaborative process aimed to give you access to what your unconscious mind is saying. This changes the information used in your decision-making. For many, it changes how life feels--deepens it. When life feels more alive to you, everything else changes. I'm adept at Jungian dreamwork, a process of uncovering meaning from nighttime dreams. This can enable you to map your unconscious complexes and change the infrastructure of your psychology. This process takes time and commitment. It can produce big change in your self-concept and outlook. Research has shown that depth psychotherapy is effective compared to other methods, but also promotes development of personal strength, resilience, capacity for relationship, and the ability to utilize talents (please see: dreamtherapyminneapolis.comdepth-psychology). . Additionally, this approach minimizes cultural biases and prejudice against individual uniqueness, because the change process is propelled by your own unconsious mind.

Deep change can include journeying through symptoms, rather than assailing them as an enemy. Often, a symptom brings a message about an imbalance in your psychology that can be addressed. A symptom may signal that energy is stuck in your unconscious mind because you don't yet understand the growth that wants to happen. Gaining insight about it and taking action can bring much relief, both in terms of the symptom, and also in knowing that this type of problem can ultimately bring positive results. People I’ve worked with have been astonished at how much they changed, and how this caused them to experience life from their depths.
