While we have some control over our physical body, it primarily operates at a level beyond our awareness. Our breath, heartbeat and digestive system, for example, all function automatically. Instinctive and reflexive actions kick in as required. If we are wounded or unwell, the body will heal itself without our need to think about it. The wisdom of the body surpasses our conscious will.
The same is true of the psyche.
As Jung demonstrated, there is not one, but two centres to the psyche. In addition to the ego, of which we are well aware, and think of as ‘I’, there is also the deeper Self, which, although hidden from view, describes the far more intelligent and forceful centre of the psyche.
Self-Oriented Psychotherapy allows the Self to lead the way, thereby acclelerating one's personsal process of development.
