Findings in Neuroscience in the past 25 years have confirmed the principle of self-regulation that has been a fundamental building block in Jung’s psychology. Although Jung saw the psyche’s regulatory ability as a mirror of the self-regulating capacity that operates in the body, our Jungian trainings thus far have largely focused on Psyche as the main guide in the individuation process. It is now timely that we align with a more integrated embodied

approach that includes the body, with its innate capacity for regulation, its drive for wholeness and healing.
BodyDreaming offers us an approach to working with the individuation process that integrates the body and psyche. It is rooted in Jungian psychology, in an understanding of the nervous system and the practice of somatic therapy. We will develop our understanding of the central role of our Autonomic Nervous System responses – fight/flight, freeze, tend and befriend – in shaping who we are becoming. We will learn how to work therapeutically to create greater ease and flow and to build coherence in the nervous system so we are not stuck in a complex or trauma response. We will focus on the nervous system’s cycles of activation and deactivation and explore the processes of pendulation and titration in working with overwhelm and trauma. This process is mirrored in Jungian psychology in the concept of Transcendent Function.
