Jung Society of the Triangle. She had lived all over the world with her Foreign Service officer husband before they moved here.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a layperson with a great interest in psychology and what makes people tick,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Dyer said from her Carol Woods home. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a logical person to come to town and start a Jung Society!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>It served to lead her to local Jungians \u00e2\u20ac\u201d therapists who follow the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153depth psychology\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jung approach, which involves digging deeper into the psychic layers to find answers that we have blocked ourselves from knowing.<\/p>\n<p>Dyer refers to a classic case where a painter, who was blocked in his creative process, decided to try Jungian analysis and learned that the root of his problem was that his marriage of 15 years had never been consummated. Imagine that \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and how deeply an abnormality like that would have to be pushed down in order to continue in a marital union without such physical expression.<\/p>\n<p>A Jungian therapist helps people find the way to their secrets and then to make the changes necessary to alter the dysfunction.<\/p>\n<p>Each fourth week of the month, those who practice the theories, and those like Dyer, for whom it holds great interest, gather to hear a lecture on Friday evening and\/or attend a workshop on Saturday. The guest speakers offer a variety of topics for people to explore.<\/p>\n<p>The 25th anniversary event on March 28 and 29 will feature Dr. Thomas B. Kirsch, a man who not only has been treating patients since the mid-1960s, but who is the son of two first-generation Jungian analysts. After moving from London to Los Angeles, Kirsch helped found the Jung Institute of Los Angeles. Besides growing up surrounded by Jungians, Kirsch met Carl Jung in 1955 on Jung\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 80th birthday, helping to seal his devotion to the practice he will share on Friday night in a talk titled, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Legacy of C.G. Jung.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The Saturday workshop is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Working with Dreams,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d where Kirsch, who practices in San Francisco, will discuss recent scientific findings in the study of dreams before discussing Jung\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s view of that subject to which he owed his existence.<\/p>\n<p>The usual $15 fee for the Friday night event at 7:30 will be waived in celebration of the anniversary, but the $48 fee will be charged for Saturday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s workshop, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., all at Binkley Baptist Church.<\/p>\n<p>Dyer started the society hoping \u00e2\u20ac\u0153that since other places had one, in a community like this it would take hold and bloom \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and it did,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said.<\/p>\n<p>During its charter year, there were 110 members, which over the years peaked at 365, but generally there are about 200.
