After 20+ years on the path less travelled and through my doctoral studies, I’ve seen one truth: the key to success in life is beginning your own journey of individuation.
That’s why I suggest this book as the first Carl Jung book you read.
It is a warm, human invitation into Jung’s dreams and the forces that shaped his soul.

It is the most accessible gateway into Jung’s world, written (with Aniela Jaffé) as a reflective autobiography. It captures his personal experiences with dreams, active imagination, and his own individuation process in a warm, human tone. It initiates the reader into seeing how the unconscious actively shapes the personality and life path without overwhelming them with dense theory.

Key themes:
• Encounters with the unconscious
• Learning about the symbolic life
• Understanding the shadow, archetypes, and the Self
• Personal stories that ground abstract concepts
How it supports Dr. Glock's sessions:
It encourages you to notice dreams, synchronicities, and unconscious patterns, aligning beautifully with hypnotherapy’s exploration of inner symbolic material.
