Hi Suruchi. I'd like to add my somewhat belated welcome to the Alliance. Hopefully, once you have a chance to explore the online community a bit, I think you'll find a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all intrigued by the field of depth psychology. And, while there are many Jungian analysts, clinicians, and 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, I hope you're finding opportunities to engage as you browse the vast content and interact with others. You may want to consider joining the online book club if you haven’t already—There's a new author each month, and you can jump in at anytime and participate at whatever level you wish. February brings a wonderful new book from Jungian Analyst Erel Shalit as well as a special online study group on Astrology with long-time astrologer Kathleen Burt.
In case you need detailed help getting started and navigating the site, please 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 suruchi,
Glad you have become a member in the Alliance. We are truly worldwide so I believe you will get a wide range of perspectives about both the theory and practice of depth psychology. Examining your shadow is one of the most courageous endeavors in the individuation process. My encouragement and best wishes to you on that path.
There are many blogs, forums, and groups within the Alliance focusing upon many topics. Also, the book studies, interviews, etc. can be valuable in your process. I look forward to your posts within the discussions. Again, welcome.
Ed
