gia herndon, LMFT ~ Counseling with Compassion

This workshop explores Carl Jung’s theory of personality with specific focus on the Shadow. We will explore the Shadow by first identifying personal Archetypes and the “transcendent function” utilizing an expressive arts technique and self-compassion inquiry to cultivate wholeness.  Shadow explorations is particularly helpful in assisting in recognizing and managing counter-transference.

• Participants will be able to define and understand 2-3 structures of Jung’s theory of personality.

• Participants will be able to define and apply Jung’s concept of the Transcendent Function.

• Participants will learn how to use an expressive arts technique to explore their own shadow and how it may manifest on counter-transference.

• Participants will be able to utilize concepts and the expressive arts technique to assist clients in facing challenging aspects of their own personality.
