A need for depth
When you have already had psychotherapy more focused on symptoms and felt that something was missing. When what you seek is not an answer — but understanding.
Jungian Analysis · Adults · Individuation Process
A process of individuation. Work with dreams, symbols and the unconscious dimension of experience — following the thought of Carl Gustav Jung, in dialogue with contemporary neuroscience.
What it is
Analytical psychology — also known as Jungian analysis — is the psychotherapeutic model created by Carl Gustav Jung. It is distinguished by the central place it gives to the unconscious as a creative dimension, and not merely as a reservoir of repressed contents.
It does not treat symptoms. It accompanies a lifelong process — what Jung called individuation: the path by which each person becomes more fully themselves, integrating what they know and what they do not yet know of themselves.
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate. Carl Gustav Jung
At Psingular, this work is conducted with the rigour of the classical analytical frame — and, at the same time, in dialogue with contemporary neuroscience. Archetypes are also read as neurodynamic patterns. Dreams, as a language of biological code. Analysis, as a living practice.
When it makes sense to seek it
Jungian analysis is not for everyone. It asks for time, inner availability and a willingness to look squarely at what is usually avoided. Here are some situations in which it often makes sense to seek it:
When you have already had psychotherapy more focused on symptoms and felt that something was missing. When what you seek is not an answer — but understanding.
Recurring, vivid or disturbing dreams. Images that return. A sense that something important is happening within you, yet will not be put into words.
The moment when what you have built so far is no longer enough. When social roles begin to feel tight. When you recognise the need for another way of living.
Not as an abstract existential question — but as a concrete question about your place, your work, your relationships, what you truly want to build.
Somatic manifestations with no organic cause, phobias that do not respond to desensitisation, compulsive behaviours with deep roots. Presentations that call for a symbolic reading.
Mental health professionals, artists, writers, therapists in training. For those who work with the psyche, their own analysis is an essential instrument.
The process
Jungian analysis is a path built over time. There are no shortcuts — but there are typical moments worth knowing about.
The typical duration is between two and five years, with weekly sessions. In some cases, it continues for longer. In others, it concludes sooner.
Two to four initial sessions to learn about your history and your question, and to see whether Jungian analysis is the appropriate frame. No commitment to continue.
The first months of the analysis. Conflicts, resistances and contents that had remained repressed come to the surface. This is where the analytical relationship is built — the foundation for everything that follows.
The longest phase. Dreams come to have their own place in the analysis. The symbolic language grows richer. The relationship with the unconscious becomes a living dialogue.
Analysis has no fixed end — it has maturation. When the process reaches its natural point, sessions are gradually spaced out until its conclusion.
"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are."Carl Gustav Jung · On Individuation
Practical details
Usual frequency: one session per week — the basis for consistent analytical work.
The typical duration is between two and five years. It is not a commitment fixed from the outset — it is confirmed as the process unfolds.
We ask you to keep a record of your dreams — written on waking, simply, without prior interpretation.
Dreams do not replace the session. But their symbolic matter is an essential part of the analytical material.
Jungian analysis at Psingular is conducted by João Ereiras Vedor — analyst, trained in Neuroscience at the U. of Santiago de Compostela, and author of publications in the field.
