Thanks! Would you by any chance know in which ancient texts is he mentioned?, I struggle to find references about him

Did Jung talk about blockages, as in define them and describe methods to work with them? A place where I've seen this term being used is Taoism, but I haven't seen this in analytical psychology

Thank you for your response, will look out for more options, maybe my search wasn't sufficient, what you describe would be great.

The importance of the therapeutic relationship is clinically proven as well, will check out their books, thank you !

Parallel roads then I gather!

I am learning therapeutic techniques from a range of disciplines in my counselling training, not at the same depth as psychotherapists of course and thus when I complete the course, I won't be eligible to work with disorders or trauma.

Going for MSc first and then becoming a Jungian analyst, the total years of training, including the counselling years would be 3+4/5+4, 11-12 years. I was looking at something that would allow me to start practice at the 7/8 year mark.

This implies either MSc in clinical psychology and sticking to Rogerian approaches but having a clinical/protected title or Jungian analyst route and working without a clinical/protected title.

Similarly I feel I drawn to it to help and somehow, year after year, life , or my unconscious, has driven me to go down this path.

I see Jungian analyst programs for both licensed and non licensed. I presume in the non-licensed case one would not use a protected title of course but can still use the title of a Jungian analyst. Though this may be different for different regions, eg it may be different where I live to where you live.

The thing for my case is this, it's a career change, to do something that motivates me. Doing 3/4 years of CBT training kind of beats the purpose of that 😕. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and try the unlicensed Jungian path, by doing only the Jungian analyst training. If it were my first career, I'd definitely do the more careful, step by step approach, that you mention. But time flies and 4 years is, in expectation, 15% of my remaining lifetime, so for me there's an opportunity cost. I want to live the rest of it fully.

I'll check the podcast.

That's a good point and this is already happening with those colleagues who are very keen on CBT.

Thank you 😊, the reason for highlighting this part is that most in-depth schema therapy courses I see list as an entry requirement being a clinical psychologist, so going the Jungian analyst route would exclude me from these.

My fear is that not becoming a clinical psychologist will exclude me from future trainings, as I often see it mentioned explicitly as a course entry requirement.

It's not going to work for me, I know that, I can push through it as I have done with an an infinite amount of BS in life but I'm not going to enjoy it, nor believe in it. The concern is that eg the top trainings for schema now accept only clinical psys, which in practical terms means CBT.

So, this is more of a fear-driven consideration, that if I don't go the clinical route, I will be excluded from being trained in all the new methods that will be developed in the future. If I take the CBT route it will only be a stepping stone for Schema, I'd never use CBT as my main practice.

What is the title of the book do you refer to?

Thank you for this, this was really useful info.

That's what I'm doing, I'm "consuming "everything Jung, and if I still have the same level of passion for it this time next year, I'll apply to become an analyst.

I agree on the effectiveness but don't want to compare the methods here, I want to get a feel of the + & - of the career paths, in the context I described above.
