Create Your Own RedBook
The Art and Science of Therapeutic Journaling
Dr Chris Hodgson
Chris will talk about Jung’s Red Book and Black Books and the importance of Active Imagination and Individuation in the healing of self and society. Chris will discuss how Jung’s theories relate to the art and science of therapeutic journaling.
Many practical aspects of therapeutic journaling will be discussed, including how to incorporate Active Imagination and Robert A Johnson’s technique of dream elaboration in your journal.
The importance of developing a Spiritual outlook to life will be also discussed. In an age where organized religion appears to be in decline there is, nevertheless, still a spiritual need within our psyche. Therapeutic Journaling incorporating Active Imagination and the elaboration of dreams, may help to fulfil our need for spirituality.
