EP #11: Jane Clapp- JUNGIAN SOMATICS: The thread of the Bodymind

Jane Clapp is my guest here,  and it is a very good opportunity to watch  and listen to this conversation since Jane do not offer many Podcast  interviews those days, and has decided not to be on Social Media  anymore.   

Jane Clapp, is a practitioner in the holistic health industry for two  decades, and an advanced candidate with the Ontario Association of  Jungian Analysts, a psychotherapist (under supervision) and an expert in  the intersection of the body and psyche. Combining 2, along with  creativity, she has developed what she refers to as Jungian Somatics.     

In this episode, we talk about her background and what brought her to  move from a corporate job to her actual art, How working with the body and the mind (vs only one of the 2) is  important How we can be both sensitive (or hypersensitive) and strong The complexity of human being, and how labeling or “ready-made  solutions” to help a client is quite reductive. You’ll also hear about the intuition, cognitive trans, symbols and  archetypes. Enjoy!
