Psychotherapy and the Collective Shadow: An Invitation to Wonder
Psychotherapy and the Collective Shadow: An Invitation to Wonder
This is an invitation for therapists to examine the collective shadow of psychotherapy. From the individual, to the societal, to the archetypal, Bayo is creating a space where therapists are allowed to wonder about not only the limits of their capacities as healing professionals, but also the inevitability of healing becoming a mechanism for harm itself. This is a topic that is generally avoided in the collective psyche of therapists & therapist personas, perhaps due to our desire to save and be a hero for our clients. But many therapists are yearning for a space to explore this part of their reality.

Are you a therapist seeking to delve deeper into the intricacies of your profession? Do you feel a yearning to understand the hidden dimensions that influence your practice? Join Bayo Akomolafe, PhD, for a groundbreaking webinar that explores the collective shadow of psychotherapy. This free, live event is an invitation to wonder, to question, and to expand your understanding of what it means to be a healer in today's world.
What is the Collective Shadow?
The concept of the collective shadow is rooted in Jungian psychology. It refers to the aspects of a culture or community that are repressed, denied, or ignored. In the context of psychotherapy, the collective shadow encompasses the unspoken truths, hidden biases, and suppressed emotions that can shape therapeutic practices in unforeseen ways. By examining this shadow, therapists can gain insights into the limitations and potential pitfalls of their profession.
When Healing Becomes Ill
In the pursuit of healing, there lies the paradox that sometimes, healing becomes ill. This means that the very methods and practices designed to heal can inadvertently cause harm. This webinar will delve into this paradox, challenging therapists to reflect on their roles and the broader implications of their work.
Normopathic Healing
Normopathic healing refers to the normalization of certain behaviors and practices in therapy that may actually perpetuate harm. It's an invitation to question the status quo and to recognize that what is considered "normal" in therapy might not always be beneficial. This webinar will explore how therapists can identify and address these normopathic tendencies.
