Practicing Hope – The mythology and astrology of Ceres in the counseling setting

January 11, 2022

I’m super excited to announce that a paper of mine is published in Archai.

Archai is an academic journal on Archetypal Cosmology. You can find more information on the journal on their website.

Introduction to the article:

Psychotherapist Jerome D. Frank developed a theory on demoralization. He proposed that demoralization is a state of mind, which can be described as severe hopelessness, that clients who seek psychotherapy and other types of counseling have in common. According to Frank, psychotherapies and counseling aim to reduce demoralization and support clients in the practice of hope. This paper proposes that mythology, can be applied in therapy, counseling and astrology supporting clients in their practice of hope. The myth of Demeter and Persephone is analyzed and given as an example for therapeutic application. The myth of Demeter and Persephone stands on its own in the therapeutic application, as well as in relationship to the asteroid Ceres in the practice of astrology.

You can purchase the journal on Amazon.
