Myths, Fairy Tales and Parables: Their Practical Application in the Consultation Room
Presented by Sheila Traviss, M.A., L.M.F.T.
Myths, fairy tales, and parables are reflections of human thoughts and consciousness. Embedded within these stories are archetypes imbued with symbolism and meaning that, upon inspection and reflection, allow the clinician to reach a greater depth in the clinical setting. In this class, we will discuss a variety of fairy tales, myths, and parables and how we can develop a curiosity about their deeper meanings. We will identify some of Jung’s major theories (Complex, Shadow, Persona, Unconscious) clearly illustrated within the stories.
Learning objectives:
- Apply story elements of a fairy tale to the structure of the psyche.
- Identify the meaning of a complex by way of a myth.
- Identify the tension of opposites contained within a parable.
- Identify how a complex is generative to the psyche.
