Rock Bottom of Soul - how to survive dark times by Prof. Allan Guggenbühl Life is full of challenges, some are great, rewarding, others are frustrating, make us feel helpless or even depressed.
We are lost for answers. What to do, when darkness prevails? a relationship fails? life seems meaningless? Are we blocked or have difficulties accepting ourselves?
Psychologically these moments are an opportunity to reinvent our life, reimagine our past and face our shadow. These moments of Nigredo can be an opportunity to find answers outside our conscious conventional approach to life.
A chance to connect to the depths of the Soul. In the lecture the dynamics of Rock Bottom Experiences are described and ways presented to rediscover our inner resources by reflecting our dreams, allowing idle distractions, valuing crazy fantasies and mythodramatic work, reinventing our past.
