Services
I provide Jungian analysis, depth psychotherapy, and marriage and family therapy.
I am passionate about my work as a Jungian analyst, child and adolescent, couples, and individual adult psychotherapist.
I enjoy seeing patients get better, mature, and transform over time.
I began my studies in Jungian psychology at the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1978, where I taught Jung's theories of dream interpretation and led dream groups to classes of 100 students between 1980-1982.
I received my bachelor's degree in Depth Psychology and Religion from UCSC.
For all consciousness is isolated; because it separates and discriminates, it knows only particulars, and it sees only those that can be related to the ego.
Its essence is limitation, even though it reach to the furthest nebulae among the stars.
All consciousness separates; but in dreams we put on the likeness of that more universal, truer, more eternal man dwelling in the darkness of primordial night.
Steven Herrmann is one of those rare individuals who can brilliantly bring intellectual prowess and visionary depth together in a graceful dance of prose and poetry.
Keeping a dream Journal requires regularity and discipline.
In my own experience I have found that it is best to try and record them before one gets out of bed in the morning so they do not slip back into the unconscious.
Dreams need to be worked with and understood in relationship to the pattern of one's life as a whole.
Try and be mindful before bed and tell yourself: I am going to remember my dreams in the morning and write them down when I wake up.
Be intentional about this and use your sleep induction as a form of incubation.
3 Are there basic truths that such dreams can reveal to you from within the vocational doorways?
5 Do you have a vocational archetype that is nuclear in your personality, a source of deep motivation, and psychic energy that has been activated since childhood?
7 How can the fulfillment of your vocations lead to better forms of relatedness with your family, your community, and the world?
The reader may be wondering: What does my dream mean?
In my practice of Jungian psychotherapy I bring over three decades of study on the psychology of CG Jung and the interpretation of and research into the nature of vocational dreams and Jungian archetypes.
My work in the field of Jungian Child Psychotherapy and Sandplay therapy is to help children make good choices during the elementary and middle school periods, to resolve sleep, emotional, and behavioral problems, help children become better socially adapted, and excel academically.
As a child psychotherapist, this process of helping children grow interpersonally is accelerated through the transformative principle of play.
Play therapy is a powerful method used universally by child psychotherapists.
