The Suffering of Ghosts is a four-week webinar series with Jungian analyst, Samuel L. Kimbles, Ph.D., that will explore how the cultural unconscious is organized by complexes that manifest in archetypal story formations, which Samuel calls phantom narratives. Drawing from his newly released book: Intergenerational Complexes in Analytical Psychology, this series will focus on how human suffering relates to unacknowledged traumatic cultural histories that continue to haunt us in the present.

This series will explore the many ways that our internal lives are organized and patterned by racial, ethnic, and national identities, as well as personal experiences. Samuel will lead students through to an understanding of how the emotional dynamics generated by these phantom narratives can act as holding containers that allow us to work with these issues psychologically and offer opportunities for individual and collective healing.
