JUNGIAN SOMATICS™
Animating our inner lives
“The main interest of my work is not concerned with the treatment of neurosis but rather with the approach to the numinous. But the fact is that the approach to the numinous is the real therapy and inasmuch as you attain to the numinous experiences you are released from the curse of pathology.”
C.G. Jung
There are approximately 3,500 certified Jungian analysts in the world, and I’m fortunate to be one of them.
I'm Jane Clapp, Jungian Analyst, Registered Psychotherapist, and creator of Jungian Somatics™.
My training through the International Association for Analytical Psychology demanded years of deep personal analysis, rigorous clinical work, and the kind of reckoning that changes you. It’s the tradition Jung built, and it’s alive in this work.
The kinetic spirit, the soul's movement in matter, is still alive in you, even in brokenheartedness, disconnection, grief, uncertainty, pain or loss.
Jungian Somatics™ is rooted in Jung's understanding of the psychoid realm, where psyche and matter are not yet divided and where meaning arises through movement, sensation, and symbol rather than following experience. When trauma or existential crisis fractures that unity, spirit feels distant, matter feels dead, and the vital intelligence at the core of who we are goes quiet.
This work reintroduces the felt sense. Creativity, imagination, dreams, and the body become portals into the labyrinth of the psyche, as living terrain to move through. Movement here is listening: to the subtle currents of the Self or soul, to gestures and images that emerge rather than being forced or chosen. When control softens enough to let something else lead, reality begins to reorganize from within, and we can start to access our inner orbit of meaning and truth.
I work with creatives, depth practitioners, and people in the midst of existential shifts such as loss of meaning, brokenheartedness, and the dissolving of an identity that has run its course. Menopause, midlife, grief, illness, career transitions. Those navigating what wants to be born next through them, and learning to fully inhabit a life of embodied, spiritual meaning.
I offer longer-term Jungian analysis, Jungian Somatics™ trainings, embodied spiritual direction, immersive courses, and public teaching at various Jungian organizations.
