Time and Trauma in Analytical Psychology and Psychotherapy:
The Wisdom of Andean Shamanism
Saturday, October 26, 2024
11:00 am – 4:00 pm EST
(Please note the later start time)
a Zoom seminar led by Deborah Bryon, PhD
Contact hours: 4 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.
Jungian analyst and psychologist Deborah Bryon offers Andean shamanic wisdom as it dovetails with concepts from Depth psychology and contemporary relational psychoanalysis. After being adopted and inducted by Peruvian paqos, she seamlessly combines her personal experience with theoretical concepts to highlight practices of connection and compassion. Her personal descent to deep layers of unconscious phenomena is shown to bring an enhanced awareness of reality with profound healing effects, providing a wide-ranging perspective on experiences central to contemporary depth psychology. Deborah utilizes the conceptual framework of quantum theory to reveal underlying links between mystical and clinical experience. This presentation will weave together interpersonal and Jungian analytic perspectives, informed by indigenous Andean shamanism, and contemporary scientific understanding of time in an exploration of a more expansive, vision of the world. It will provide different perspectives on experiences central to contemporary depth psychology – i.e., the subjective experience of time and trauma.
Learning Objectives:
The program is designed so that participants will be able to:
- Describe Andean medicine and its relevance to psychoanalytic practice
- Discuss similarities and differences in the ways atemporal states are understood in Jung’s concept of the unconscious and objective psyche, Andean shamanism, quantum theory and clinical application.
- Explain the relevance in understanding atemporal dimensions in working with implicit states in the analytic process.
- Conceptualizing the psychoanalytic process from a broader perspective that includes Jungian psychology, fractal dynamics, and shamanism.
