JUNG 101/102: Honoring Subjective Experience
Format: In Person and by Zoom
Lecturer: Mike Schaefer, LPCC
Synopsis: Jung provides an effective language that helps us to explore Psyche through the study of dream images and structures like the four functions, and also through understanding the whirlwinds of complexes. As Individuation beckons, learning from others is helpful, but it is not enough. How do I translate this knowledge into what I have experienced? How are these Jungian ideas playing out in my Psyche? What does authentic experience and expression look like and feel like for me?
Bio: I have been in a continuously developing and fulfilling relationship with my wife for over 45 years. We have five children that we molded and shaped (at least we tried to), and six grandchildren that were perfect from the beginning. I have worked in the construction industry my whole life. During midlife, I returned to college and gained a license to practice psychotherapy. I have been interested in Jungian ideas since my 20s and have been a member of JACO since the late 90s.
