The Wise Ones Series More of a "Jung" Therapist's Journey

Season 2 Episode 7 The Wise Ones Series More of a ”Jung” Therapist’s Journey with Andrew Shroyer MA, LAPC

In this episode, we continue our sit down with Andrew Shroyer, MA, LAPC, to explore the deep intersection of Jungian psychology, Christian theology, and the grueling reality of Community Mental Health (CMH).

Andrew opens up about his journey from a theological background to finding his therapeutic home in the depths of Jungian psyche and dream work. We dive deep into how a Christian worldview shapes his understanding of healing as a sacred, relational process rather than a list of symptoms to manage.

Andrew then pulls no punches about his time in CMH. We unpack CMH burnout through a brilliant Jungian lens, identifying the specific archetypes that hijack clinicians when the system pushes them to the brink. Finally, we discuss the ethical tensions that ultimately led him to leave CMH, the hauntingly beautiful client transformations that stayed with him, and what has surprised him most about reclaiming his autonomy in private group practice.

If you are an intern or new clinician feeling fractured by systemic demands, this episode is a masterclass in staying true to your clinical soul.
