Research Shows Synchronicity Aids Psychotherapy, Dr. Gunnar Immo Reefschläger: EP 270

Researcher Dr. Gunnar Immo Reefschläger has collected data demonstrating for the first time that synchronicity can aid psychotherapeutic change. To be useful, the therapist must recognize how to help create narratives that incorporate the meaningful coincidence in a new way of feeling and thinking. Gunnar emphasizes the need to extend this Jungian concept to other therapies. If you have a therapist, educate them!
