My orientation as a Jungian psychoanalyst has been informed by complexity and intersubjective theory stemming from the school of relational psychoanalysis, as well as 25 years of working with the Andean medicine people in Peru. I have come to believe that all healing, including working through trauma, comes through the heart connection we establish with our analysands accompanied by a willingness to enter their world and be with them in the darker regions of the psyche, which Jung (1963) referred to as taking the light into the dark. This is what I try to aspire to—and some days are better than others. In my work with the Andean medicine people, I have also come to believe that the heart connection must be rooted in something greater.
