Jungian Analysis
"Jungian Analytic training enables me to explore the psyche with patients who wish to deal with the unconscious and access the meaning of their dreams. Jungian Analysis can help one to 'get to the root' of symptoms, both physical, behavioral and emotional. In gaining access to unconscious parts of oneself, one may facilitate the process of 'enlarging ' the personality."
Susan is a Certified Jungian Analyst, trained at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles. Sessions are scheduled on a weekly basis.
Conscious Eating Groups
"Conscious Eating" is a non-diet approach for women who overeat and/ or are overweight. The program is focused on the behaviors, thoughts and feelings that lead to overeating. Body awareness is enhanced by participation in the program. One learns to look to one's body to determine when to eat, rather than eating to manage one's emotions.
"Conscious Eating" is a structured program that meets weekly for one-and-one-half hours. Each of the three phases of the program has a guidebook that aids in developing consciousness throughout the week, until the next class.
One is introduced to "Conscious Eating" via participation in a seven-week Introductory Workshop. The workshop can be followed by a long-term program of three phases. Each phase of the program lasts for twenty weeks.
"Conscious Eating" is similar in practice, and theory, to the work of Geneen Roth and may serve as support for those women who have experienced her work."
