Jungian Intensive Journaling is a tool to get access to the deeper and often buried parts of ourselves.
It is a journaling technique created by IRA Progoff, a depth psychologist who worked alongside of Carl Jung, in the 1950’s.
“Dr. Progoff conducted research on the dynamic process by which individuals develop more fulfilling lives. As a Psychotherapist, he found that the clients who wrote in some form of a journal were able to work through issues more rapidly. Through this research, he then developed and refined the Intensive Journal Method in the mid-1960's and 1970's to provide a way to mirror the processes by which people become dynamic and develop themselves.”
This is not a traditional form of journaling,
where the individual regurgitates the experiences of the day, maybe adding a creative elements here and there.
The Intensive Journaling Method, is able to take a the participate to much deeper places through the guidance of a trained instructor.
