You meet someone new.

They are different from the person who came before. Different personality, different history, different circumstances. Perhaps you have changed too. And yet, over time, something strangely familiar begins to emerge. You feel a similar disappointment, the same patterns of conflict emerge, and you sense the same sadness you felt in previous relationships. Although this is a new relationship and you tried so hard not to repeat past mistakes, you find yourself stuck in the same patterns.

Jungian psychology proposes a provocative possibility: we never encounter another person entirely as they are.

We encounter them through the accumulated history of our own psyche — through projections, complexes, archetypal expectations and wounds formed in our earliest relationships.

And they encounter us in much the same way.

This unconscious meeting between two psyches can produce love, attraction and intimacy. But it can also create conflict, rejection, dependency, idealisation, disappointment and repetition.

It is here that we encounter the Other — and the relational wound.

Through transference and countertransference, anima and animus, projection and Jung's model of psychological transformation, we will investigate not simply what happens in our relationships, but why the same things keep happening.

And, most importantly:

What becomes possible when the unconscious pattern becomes conscious?

The aim is not to teach you how to find the “right” relationship.

It is to discover who and what it is that (unconsciously) enters into relationship when you do. And, critically, how you might navigate that relational dynamic in a way that reduces the level of frustration you typically experience and ideally lead to more satisfying and meaningful relationships.

Citrinitas will help you to uncover the hidden projections and unconscious drives which create the relationship dynamics that you experience. The course will guide you and empower you to shift the dysfunctional relationship dynamics that you have with both yourself and the world/ others.

This course will enable you to:

    • Understand why your relationships are never quite what you expect.
   • Explore what drives your relationship reactions.
   • Gain insight into why you attract certain people in your life.
   • Heal dysfunctional relationship patterns.
   • Relate to yourself and others more constructively and meaningful fashion.
   • Identify archetypal relationship imprints that are constellated in your psyche and life.
   • Become a collaborator and co-architect with the unconscious psyche.
  •  Deconstruct the false self to allow the authentic self to emerge.
  •  Become conscious of and managing the illusions of the Anima.
   • Become conscious of and managing the prejudices of the Animus.
