Psychic Boundaries as Psychological Boundaries
When we begin talking about “psychic boundaries,” it can be tempting to place the conversation entirely in the realm of the energetic or paranormal. But from a Neo-Jungian perspective, we might understand these experiences as expressions of the psyche itself—how we differentiate self from other, inner from outer, and conscious from unconscious. Before we ever… [Read More]
AI, Projection, and the Psychology of Meaning

Sitting at the Threshold: Liminal Space in Therapeutic Practice

The Clair Senses Through a Neo-Jungian Lens
In coaching and therapy, intuition often whispers before it speaks. A sudden image, a phrase that lands just right, or a tingling awareness in the body—these subtle experiences are sometimes called the clair senses: clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, clairalience, clairgustance, and claircognizance.

Symbol and Synchronicity in Clinical Supervision
Integrating symbol and synchronicity into clinical supervision offers a depth-psychological perspective that moves far beyond standard case consultation. Rather than focusing solely on techniques or interventions, a Jungian-informed approach invites both supervisor and supervisee to explore the subtle, often unconscious dynamics shaping their work. This process becomes a dialogue with the unseen — a way… [Read More]
