About this episode
Can spontaneous art-making harness the power of imagery and symbols to promote emotional healing and self-discovery? Mark Dean, Jungian analyst, professional artist, professor, and art therapist, helps us explore the profound connection between art-making and psychological growth, using imagery, metaphors, and symbols as bridges between our conscious and unconscious minds. Rooted in Analytical Psychology, this approach helps us identify and process complex emotions, experiences, and foundational attitudes, promoting positive change in our relationships and psyche. This work emphasizes the dynamic relationship between our inner and outer worlds and the limitless creativity this can bring forward. Prepare to discover what Jungian art therapy is and its role in individuation, how imagery and symbols facilitate emotional healing, which techniques and methods are most effective, whether art can really serve as a bridge between your conscious and unconscious mind, why integrating creative expression into all areas of our life is essential for well-being…and so much more.
