What is Depth Psychology?
Depth-Work
Depth psychology acknowledges how unconscious material can inform a person’s waking life and play out in unrecognized patterns of belief and behavior. Depth psychology attends to the deep inner-workings of a person’s life-expression. Quality Depth Psychology experiences compassionately shine a light into the murky waters under the surface, bringing clarity and illuminating a person's power of choice. To know oneself inside and out can be empowering and extraordinarily healing, especially when knowing oneself more truly leads to loving oneself more completely.
