Please share a little about yourself by way of introduction. What draws you to Depth Psychology and what are you looking for from this community?
I work primarily from a psychodynamic approach, which means I work to help create insight about long-standing interpersonal patterns and conflicts and discover the roots of emotional suffering. I help clients discover unconscious thoughts, feelings and beliefs which are impacting and impinging their thoughts, feelings, choices and relationships. The goal of psychodynamic psychotherapy is to help patients develop insight into their unconscious processes( make unconscious material conscious), an increased capacity for self-observation, alleviation of symptoms, improved relationships, and the ability, due to these achievements, and to live a more satisfying life. Psychodynamic psychotherapy uses the here and now relationship between the therapist and patient as a means of increasing understanding, via self-reflection and self-examination, into long-standing relationship patterns of the patient’s life.

Hi Tracey. Greetings, and I'd like to add my somewhat belated welcome to Ed's. I'm familiar with your writing since I'm an avid tweeter and constantly look for good material to share. So glad you do what you do.
I hope as you explore the community here a bit you are finding a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all deeply drawn by the field of depth psychology. As you likely know by now, while there are many Jungian analysts and clinical psychologists here, our members come from many walks of life--artists, writers, doctors, healing professionals, counselors, students, business people, etc--so there is much cross-disciplinary knowledge and experience here to be shared.
On that note, there are many opportunities to engage as you browse the site. Some ideas for getting started are to post a topic for discussion in the Forum, to respond to someone else's post, or to share a link to an article or web site you like. You can also post a few paragraphs of your own blog (if you have one) in the Blogs section and put a link so people can go to your site and read the rest.
In case you need detailed help getting started and navigating the site, you can use the following link-- http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/page/navigating-the-site--and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions at all! I look forward to seeing you around the community~Bonnie Bright, Founder
Welcome Tracey,
Glad you found and decided to join the Alliance. There are a number of members who are "in the field" within the Alliance's membership. Your skills in writing would be a great boon to the site and its magazine so I encourage you to look into that possibility as well as point you to our blogs, forums, and groups. I look forward to your posts.
Ed
