Typology.
“YOUR VISION WILL BECOME CLEAR ONLY WHEN YOU CAN LOOK INTO YOUR OWN HEART. FOR WHO LOOKS OUTSIDE, DREAMS; BUT WHO LOOKS INSIDE, AWAKENS.”
–C.G. JUNG.
Typology.
When looking at psychological types, it is helpful to understand what C.G Jung observed in his patient’s repetitive patterns of behavior that helped him delineate categories of personality functions in order to help them better understand their tendencies, strengths, and limitations. Here in treatment, we use Carl Jung’s “Typology” theory as a psychological tool to help better understand why we sometimes do the things we do, why we get along better with certain people rather than others, why we struggle in areas where other people thrive, and most importantly, how we can change these sometimes unhealthy patterns of action into ones that can be more advantageous for each individual’s mind, body and spirit. For most of our clients, this group is an effective, and relatively easy method of coming to an understanding of the way we organize our mental and emotional world’s, with a better way of understanding these idiosyncratic differences between one another and within ourselves, we begin to learn techniques which help us adapt to the up’s and down’s of the rollercoaster that pushes forward addiction.
