| Verena Kast | | Imagination | | Finding Access to Our Inner Resources |
We all live in the world of our inner images. When we remember, we see “movies in our head”, and when we imagine the future, our thoughts reveal what we are afraid of or what gives us strength. The imagination is an important resource because it can tap into new places. And it is also therapeutically effective, as C. G. Jung discovered. The method of active imagination he developed makes it possible to grapple with difficult emotions, and activates inner processes of change and development. |
