Jungian Psychoanalyst Daniel A. Hansen

Pembroke, ON K8A
The analytical journey often begins when a person experiences an extremely challenging time in his/her/their life, does not know what to do, and feels stuck. Jungian analysis is an opportunity for him/her/them to work on his/her/their problems and emotions by talking with a trusted and qualified professional who listens attentively and assists him/her/them in exploring a personal inner path for healing. It is deep soul and spiritual work. The weekly analytic hour is an opportunity to address that by exploring a person's inner and outer life, while focusing on unconscious personal and collective material, especially symbolically.

Mental health is never static; it ebbs and flows with the unique realities of our lives through experiences of joy, trauma, growth, loss, relationships and everyday stress. Understandably, some of those moments' impacts will leave us bruised, lost or broken. The concept of becoming overwhelmed by one’s thoughts, feelings, or bodily existence can create a sense of chaos and hopelessness; a future that you, the individual daring enough to be in this moment, have determined is but a moment of your journey, not your story. Therefore, I offer a space where you can experience safety in exploration and guidance in the recovery of self.

I have postgraduate training in Brainspotting (I am certified by David Grand & completed phases 1, 2, 3, 4), Internal Family Systems (IFS Institute Level 1, 2, & advanced courses), MI, & DBT.
Real change, healing, and growth happens from the inside out. This is a process of mutual empowerment that occurs through our genuine relationships, as we bring parts of ourselves and hidden parts of our experience into the light of a compassionate awareness. In psychotherapy we can create an authentic space of acceptance to explore life's troubles with compassion, curiosity, and courage. Together we may discover, become, heal, and grow. Whatever brings you to psychotherapy, it is with respect and gratitude that I commit to walk beside you on this path. "A journey of a thousand miles begins where one is and taking a single step."

I invite you to be curious. To explore. To discover. To remember. To be courageous. To find strength in vulnerability. To use that vulnerability to foster intimacy and connection with those who you love and have yet to love. Mostly, I invite you to allow. To allow yourself to heal. To connect with you. To love you. And to become who you were always meant to be (and have always been). I invite you to experience the profound healing that occurs when we enter the depths, approaching our darkness so that we may discover our light. I invite you to expand in consciousness. To shed the false narratives and stories that you once needed.

I am happy to work with an extensive range of clients and organize my practice around providing Client-Centred Therapy grounded in empirically-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Additionally, I have lived experience as a first responder and am passionate about addressing the unique challenges associated with fulfilling such roles. In my experience working with people over the last 10 years, I've found that often their challenges are best addressed first and foremost by being heard; this act of listening is a gift that unlocks the resources hidden within.

Experiencing a bipolar or psychotic episode is often disorienting and frightening. Racing thoughts, intense emotions, and confusion over reality can leave you feeling lost and vulnerable. You’re not sure how to cope or go about your day. You may not even know where to go from here. The aftermath of an episode or inpatient treatment can be just as challenging as the onset of symptoms. It feels overwhelming grappling with uncertainty, shame, and trying to rebuild your sense of self and daily life. When all of this is combined with anxiety, depression, or addiction, it’s not uncommon to feel at a loss for how to get through the day.

Feeling grief, disconnection, sadness? Do you feel like you don’t know who you are anymore? Do you show up for others, but do not know how to meet your needs? The grief of losing your sense of self results from going through loss and trauma. One’s identity is comprised of their experiences, relationships, and beliefs/values. When an interruption or loss occurs in any of these areas, it shakes up one’s sense of self, self worth/confidence, and access to emotions of joy, calm, and love. I can support you in re-establishing a connection to self through self-discovery alongside processing the experiences of grief and trauma.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
