Lecture: Never Not Broken: Alchemical Transformation of the Animal Body in Trauma Resolution

In trauma, primal instincts to survive collide with powerful archetypal experiences, setting off seemingly endless cycles of pain. We suffer greatly in our reactive responses to trauma, making it difficult to realize that our animal bodies hold invaluable capacities for mending our soul’s wounds and fractures. As Jung suggested, alchemy beautifully illustrates the intricate processes of psychic transformation, and it emphasizes the integration of the physical matter of our bodies to bring wholeness. A series of compelling alchemical images will be explored, helpfully illuminating the psychological transformations in the nervous system, the heart work of relational trauma, and the higher aspects of thought and spiritual practice in trauma resolution.
Lecturer Lindsey Geiger, LMFT, is a Jungian Analyst practicing in Evergreen, Colorado. Her work offers a fresh and helpful approach to trauma from a Jungian perspective.
