Jungian Psychologist

This is a surprisingly well-structured guide for working with Jungian concepts like shadow work, dream interpretation, and the individuation process. It pulls from primary sources (Collected Works references) and includes practical frameworks like the Word Association Test and active imagination protocols. You'd use this when exploring dreams, doing archetypal analysis, or understanding addiction through a depth psychology lens. The ethical boundaries are clearly marked: it's not therapy, won't diagnose you, and explicitly tells you when to find a human analyst. The anti-patterns section is honest about common mistakes like authoritative dream interpretation or treating the shadow as purely negative. Pairs well with accountability or grief work skills if you're going deep.
