From Symptom to Meaning: Relating Towards Transformation
What if your symptoms aren’t just problems to fix, but messages from the soul? Jungian analytic candidate Clay Turner, LPC, invites you to hear your symptoms and respond back to them. From Symptom to Meaning: Relating Towards Transformation explores the symptom as a threshold into meaning, reframing pathology not as a flaw to eliminate but as the psyche’s invitation to deeper relationship. Drawing on Jung’s concepts of complex, symbol, and coniunctio, and integrating field perspectives, this presentation shows how integrity and authentic relating can transform symptoms and enactments into living symbols that reorganizes the psyche.

He has presented on topics such as synchronicity, spirituality, dreamwork, and other Jungian based topics. When not doing something Jungian, he can usually be found spending time with his toddler, fiancée, and pets.
