Več o delavnici:
Klinično delo z nezavedno fantazijo vključuje prepoznavanje, da je velik del pacientovega notranjega sveta organiziran prek implicitnih, zgodaj oblikovanih odnosnih vzorcev, ne pa zavestnega mišljenja. V jungovski perspektivi se nezavedna fantazija ne pojavlja kot neposredna pripovedna vsebina, temveč se razkriva v samem analitičnem odnosu — skozi transfer, afekt in subtilna pričakovanja. Naloga terapevta je, da se uglašeno odziva na te predbesedne dinamike ter omogoči, da se postopoma simbolizirajo in reflektirajo, tako da tisto, kar je bilo prej nezavedno odigrano, postane misljivo in integrirano.
Delavnica bo potekala v angleščini.
Jay je jungovski psihoanalitik, član in direktor izobraževanja pri Society of Analytical Psychology v Londonu. Kot učni analitik in supervizor nadzira in poučuje na različnih analitičnih izobraževanjih v Združenem kraljestvu ter v razvijajočih se skupinah International Association for Analytical Psychology po Evropi, Vzhodni Evropi in na Kitajskem. Zanima ga analitični pristop k človekovemu razvoju in kako opazovanje dojenčkov prispeva k razvoju analitičnega odnosa, zgodnja duševna stanja in relacijska travma, nezavedna fantazija ter sodobni pristopi k klinični oceni v terapevtski sobi. Prejel je nagrado BPC Diversity in Training Excellence Award ter nagrado Michael Fordham Journal of Analytical Psychology Prize za svoj članek The Umbilical. Ima magisterij iz jungovskih in postjungovskih študij, delal je tudi kot psihoanalitični psihoterapevt v National Health Service na akutnem oddelku za mejne, narcistične in afektivne osebnostne motnje. Deluje v zasebni praksi s polnim delovnim časom v južnem Londonu.
V primeru prijave na delavnico ste brezplačno vabljeni tudi na sobotno predavanje od 10-12h z naslovom “Raziskovanje duhovne razsežnosti jungovske psihologije: povabilo k raziskovanju smisla, trpljenja in celovitosti."
Več o sobotnem predavanju:
Predavanje izhaja iz osebne poti in strokovnega razvoja in je zasnovano kot uvod in povabilo k raziskovanju Jungovih idej o duhovni utemeljenosti v psihološki in telesni izkušnji – kar je v samem jedru blagostanja. Daleč od mističnega eskapizma je jungovska duhovnost zasidrana v realnostih trpljenja, ustvarjanja pomena ter integracije Sebstva in pojmov Drugega. Za Junga je hrepenenje po duhovni drži prav tako resnično kot občutek lakote, nelagodje ob tesnobi ali strah pred smrtjo. Jungov enotni model psihe, razvit v okviru analitične psihologije, vztraja pri neločljivosti psihe in some. Njegov koncept avtonomnega delovanja uma in telesa – naše prirojene težnje k celovitosti – je vzporeden s sodobnimi razumevanji samouravnalnih sistemov telesa, od regulacije afekta do simbolizacije. Za Junga tako kot telo teži k homeostazi in um k povezanosti, duša v človeški izkušnji išče smisel in namen. Predavanje bo obravnavalo Jungov bogat psihološki dialog z umetnostjo, literaturo in religijskimi tradicijami. Raziskano bo, kako jungovska analiza razume razvoj ega v odnosu do Sebstva, z upanjem na srečanje z notranjimi globinami ter ponovno odkrivanje občutka namena in smisla. Predstavljen bo tudi klinični primer izgubljene in vznemirjene mlade ženske, ki doživlja žalovanje in ponovno najde smisel ter namen. Za Junga duhovnost ni abstrakten ideal, temveč vitalna, integrativna sila v vsakdanjem življenju.

More about the workshop:
Working clinically with unconscious fantasy involves recognizing that much of a patient’s inner world is organized through implicit, early-formed relational patterns rather than conscious thought. From a Jungian perspective, unconscious fantasy does not appear as direct narrative content, but reveals itself within the analytic relationship—through transference, affect, and subtle expectations. The clinician’s task is to attune to these pre-verbal dynamics, allowing them to be gradually symbolized and reflected upon, so that what was previously enacted unconsciously can become thinkable and integrated.
The workshop will be held in English.

In case of registration for the workshop, you are also invited free of charge to the Saturday lecture from 10:00 to 12:00 titled “Exploring the Spiritual Dimension of Jungian Psychology: An Invitation to Exploring Meaning, Suffering, and Wholeness.”
More about the Saturday’s lecture:
This introductory talk will explore how Carl Jung’s pioneering approach sets itself apart through its profound engagement with the numinous - the sacred dimension of human experience.
This introduction, drawn from personal journey and professional development with clinical and theoretical research, offers an invitation to explore Jung’s ideas of a spiritual grounding in psychological and physical experience – this being at the core of well-being. Far from mystical escapism, Jungian spirituality is grounded in the realities of suffering, meaning making, and the integration of Self and notions of Other. For Jung, the yearning for a spiritual attitude is as real as feeling hungry, our discomfort with anxiety or our fear of death. Jung’s unified model of mind, in his development of analytical psychology insists on the indivisibility of psyche and soma. His concept of the autonomous functioning of the mind and body - our innate drive toward wholeness - parallels modern understandings of the body’s self-regulating systems, from affect regulation to symbolization. For Jung, just as the body seeks homeostasis and the mind seeks relatedness, the soul in human experience seeks meaning and purpose. This talk will discuss Jung’s rich psychological dialogue with art, literature, and religious traditions. There will be exploration of how Jungian analysis considers ego development in relation to the Self, with the hope of encountering inner depths, and remembering a sense of purpose and meaning. A clinical vignette will be presented of a lost and troubled young woman experiencing mourning and finding renewed meaning and purpose. For Jung, spirituality is not an abstract ideal, but a vital, integrating force in everyday living.
