		<title>Jungian Therapy for Anxiety &amp; the Overly Driven Person</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's actually painful to be an overly driven person, as both Jungian therapy and therapy for anxiety in general recognize.

		<title>Jungian Therapy and Divorce Counselling, Pt. 1: Loss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For Jungian therapy a key focus in divorce counselling is to look at what is trying to emerge in the life of the individual as relationship ends.

		<title>Jungian Therapy, Time and the New Year: 4 Reflections</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If life is limited and finite, I need to live in the ways that are most meaningful to me.  To do that, I must know what it is that I really value.  And to know what it is that I really value, I will have to encounter those parts of myself that I do not usually encounter or acknowledge -- the undiscovered unconscious self.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once the lead-up to the Holidays is over, there is often a quieter period in which people often come to new kinds of self awareness.  This can often lead to new paths on a personal journey towards wholeness, if individuals are willing to walk them.]]></description>

		<title>Jungian Therapy, the Self &amp; the Christmas Tree</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The symbol of the Christmas tree is quite unusual.  For one thing, it's not at all clear how it fits into the traditional Christian narrative about Christmas.  Who would think that the familiar Christmas tree is an ancient symbol of the Self?  ]]></description>

		<title>Individuation, Our 40s &amp; 50s, &amp; Major Life Transitions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At a stage in life that might have been a time of consolidation and reflection, people are encountering circumstances that are impinging on their lives.  Workplaces are nowhere near as stable as they were even 30 years ago.  Neither are family units.
