Collage as a Jungian Intervention in Relating to Childhood Trauma
Presenter: Janie Ingalls, M.A., M.F.T. 2 Saturdays: October 3 and 17, 2020. Time: 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Pacific Time. Held on Zoom Open to analysts, candidates, interns and the general public.

October 17, after the participants have been given an opportunity to make their own […]
