Know Yourself — The Purpose of Analysis
One of the central purposes of depth psychotherapy and Jungian analysis is self-knowledge — not as a philosophical exercise, but as a lived experience. To know who is actually living this life.
“Psychotherapy is an opportunity to learn to know yourself. What you don’t want is arriving at the end of your life and realising that you spent all of it with someone who is you — but a stranger.” — Philippe Jacquet
