From Symbol to Soma: A Clinician’s Guide to Applied Somatic Jungian Work
From Symbol to Soma: A Clinician’s Guide to Applied Somatic Jungian Work
A 13-page digital guide for therapists, depth practitioners, and clinicians ready to integrate the body into their symbolic and imaginal work.
This beautifully designed PDF introduces the foundations of Applied Somatic Jungian Practice—the approach that bridges psyche and soma so unconscious material can surface, be witnessed, and gently integrated through the body.
Inside, you’ll learn how the unconscious communicates through sensation, gesture, imagery, posture, and symbolic expression—and how to begin using these discoveries in clinical practice with safety, pacing, and containment.
Through clear explanations, practical examples, and experiential frameworks, this guide helps you:
Understand the distinction between archetype, archetypal experience, and image
Recognize the body as a living source of symbolic meaning
Identify how shadow material reveals itself somatically
Use symbolic language (dreams, sensations, gestures, drawings) to deepen understanding
Introduce Active Imagination through somatic pathways
Support clients in externalizing and transforming unconscious material through image, movement, and posture
Work symbolically without re-traumatizing or excavating material too quickly
Bring somatic depth work into sessions with clarity, consent, and grounding
This guide is both conceptual and experiential—you’ll explore metaphors, clinical principles, and hands-on practices that illuminate how psychological material becomes visible through the soma.
Whether you’re preparing for Sara Anderson’s CEU training or seeking to deepen your clinical toolkit, this primer offers a potent entry point into depth-oriented embodied work.
