Combining depth psychology principles with an understanding of the neurobiology of chronic and traumatic stress, we can develop a deeper relationship with ourselves with somatic awareness as a door into the unconscious psyche. Stepping into a more conscious relationship with our moment-to-moment bodily sensations and autonomous nervous system states allows us to work with parts of ourselves that evade our minds and make more conscious choices about how we relate to others and how we participate with the collective conscious and unconscious forces around us and in us.
About Jane Clapp:
Jane is a psychotherapist, an advanced candidate with the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts, and an expert in the intersection of the body and psyche. For over twenty years, Jane has been a movement and somatic coach and embodiment educator working with a diverse clientele all over the world. Bringing together many years of somatic study and clinical experience, along with extensive personal Jungian analysis and professional training as an analyst, Jane developed Jungian Somatics™.
