      Dream Analysis - Jungian Origins and Clinical Application

      with Athena Carrillo, MFT, Certified Jungian Psychoanalyst

      Dream analysis, originally developed by C.G. Jung, is one of the foundational tools of psychoanalysis and remains widely used in contemporary psychotherapy. It can serve as a means of diagnosis, prognosis, and ongoing treatment support. In Jungian terms, dream analysis fosters the development of consciousness, contributes to psychological transformation, and promotes the integration of the self. It can support both spiritual and psychological healing, including work with trauma and addiction. During this presentation, a dream will be presented and analyzed, with Jungian theory defined and applied throughout.

      Educational Goals/Learning Objectives:

      Participants will gain an understanding of the basic tenets of Jungian dream analysis and its clinical application in addressing treatment goals, supporting psychological healing, and fostering the development of consciousness.

      By the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:

      1. Discuss the use of dreams as indicators of prognosis.
      2. Explain different types of dreams and their clinical applications.
      3. Demonstrate how dream analysis can contribute to personality development.
      Presenter:

      Athena Carrillo, MFT, is a Certified Jungian Analyst in private practice in Los Angeles, CA. She currently serves as Vice President of the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and on its Taskforce for Diversity and Inclusivity. She has taught at the Jung Institute of Los Angeles, the New Center for Psychoanalysis, and Antioch University. Athena has presented on topics including the transferential field in working with adults with histories of childhood trauma, somatic approaches to psychotherapy, and the phenomenon of synchronicity. She is also certified in Kundalini Yoga and meditation, is a former athlete, and enjoys adventures on land and sea.

          White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR)

          Third Sunday of Every Month

          Next Meeting:
          Sunday, October 19, 2025
          3:00pm-5:00pm (PT)

          Online Via Zoom

          The goal of White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR) is for white-identified therapists to become effective allies in support of decolonization and racial justice in our clinical practice, therapy association, and community. Recognizing that racism is maintained when whiteness is invisible to white people, WTFR provides a forum for white-identified therapists to explore what it means to be white. While this process includes learning about structural racism and deconstructing the false narrative about race, a primary focus in the group is on doing inner work.

          How Do I Join? To join this group, please click here to complete our online submission form. Once submitted, a group facilitator will reach out to you for next steps.

          Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

          Middle Eastern North African (MENA) Therapists Community Group

          First Monday of Every Month

          Next Meeting:
          Monday, November 3, 2025
          9:30am-10:30am

          Online Via Zoom

          Free Registration

          The MENA Therapists Community Group is a safe place across the Middle Eastern and North African therapist diaspora to build community and a sense of belonging. We hold an inclusive space to process the impact of cultural biases experienced by people of MENA descent and the effect it may have on our work as mental health professionals. Within the process, we will strive to create healing, support, and empowerment. We will collaboratively exchange ideas, experiences and resources while acknowledging cultural differences and shared similarities. As the poet Khalil Gibran states — “The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you.” — our community will create a place to be seen, heard, and understood.

          Special Note: MENA Therapists Community Group meetings are intended as a place for MENA-identifying therapists to have a safe place amongst others in the same ethnic and cultural community to share and process their personal and professional experiences. Therapists from similar cultural backgrounds (e.g., South Asian, mixed identities that include MENA, etc.) are also welcome. If you are not MENA-identifying or from a similar cultural background and instead wish to join these meetings for the purpose of learning about the MENA population, we offer consultations separately. You are more than welcome to schedule a one-on-one consultation by emailing us.

            Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

            For more information, contact the facilitators at mena@lacamft.org.

              White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR)

              Third Sunday of Every Month

              Next Meeting:
              Sunday, December 21, 2025
              3:00pm-5:00pm (PT)

              Online Via Zoom

              The goal of White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR) is for white-identified therapists to become effective allies in support of decolonization and racial justice in our clinical practice, therapy association, and community. Recognizing that racism is maintained when whiteness is invisible to white people, WTFR provides a forum for white-identified therapists to explore what it means to be white. While this process includes learning about structural racism and deconstructing the false narrative about race, a primary focus in the group is on doing inner work.
