Women On The Couch

Women and Goddess Myths

In this video talk Jocelyn Chaplin looks at ways in which Goddess myths can be used in our client work. Consciously our clients/patients may be atheist or at least skeptical of anything ‘unscientific’. Yet deep in our personal and collective unconscious lie the remnants of thousands of years of patriarchal religious imagery. These can play a vital role in the transformation and empowerment of women in therapy. Jocelyn’s talk includes references to dreams, art and a brief history of goddesses from the Palaeolithic era to today.
