What if the answers to our relationship patterns lie beneath the surface of our conscious awareness?

In this special therapist interview, I'm joined by Linda Murrow, EFT Therapist and Supervisor, for a fascinating conversation exploring the intersection of Jungian depth psychology and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

Together, we explore how the unconscious shapes our emotional lives and relationships, the role of the shadow in intimate partnerships, and how our closest relationships can become powerful catalysts for growth, healing and greater self-understanding.

Whether you're a therapist, a student of psychology, or simply curious about the deeper forces that shape the way we love, this conversation offers a thoughtful exploration of one of psychology's most enduring traditions.

In this episode we explore:

• The foundations of Jungian depth psychology
• How the unconscious influences our relationships
• The shadow and its role in intimate relationships
• How our relationships become mirrors for growth, healing and self-discovery
• Where Jungian depth psychology and Emotionally Focused Therapy intersect
• What it means to move towards wholeness and authenticity
