Dear editor, Growing up in the nineties, I remember that my parents would sometimes turn on the CBS Morning Show before we would drive off to church on Sundays. In particular, there was a feature that always captivated the interest of every individual in my family, from small to large. In this feature, a reporter named Steve Hartman would throw a dart at a map of the United States, and he would travel to wherever the dart landed.

In my last article we explored Carl Jung’s ideas around acceptance and surrender in therapy. This article will look into another Jungian quote, “there is no coming to consciousness without pain.” Jung believed that often in therapy, it is necessary for clients to journey through emotional pain as they move toward selfawareness and healing. This may seem like a bit of a paradox, that suffering can lead to wellness. It can be hard to trust that the way out is through. Many people seek therapy for relief from discomfort and we are inviting clients to dive into it and sit with it? Yes, and we understand that it can be a bit scary that growth often requires discomfort.
