Exploring the intersection between the individual and the collective from Jungian psychotherapist, author, and educator Satya Doyle Byock.
About Satya
I’m a psychotherapist with a focus on Jungian Psychology, the journey of individuation, and the time of life I call Quarterlife. I’m the author of Quarterlife: The Search for Self in Early Adulthood and the founder of The Salome Institute of Jungian Psychology, where I teach online. I’m also the co-host of a (now completed) podcast exploring Carl Jung’s Red Book and its meaning for us today.
My work has been featured in places like The New York Times, The Guardian, NPR, LitHub, Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper, and Oprah Daily, and I’ve enjoyed some wonderful conversations on podcasts like BBC Woman’s Hour, Apple News in Conversation, NPR LifeKit, The Goop Podcast, Pulling the Thread, the Not Perfect Podcast, and many more.
I’m honored to have been featured on some wonderful Substacks, including with Anne Helen Peterson here and here, Leslie Stephens here and here, and Elise Loehnen here and here.
Before becoming a therapist, I studied history, social justice, issues of power and oppression, nonviolent action, race and ethnicity, and gender politics. I worked in various places worldwide, and then for The Philemon Foundation, responsible for the publication of Jung’s Red Book and other unpublished archives.
I live in Portland, Oregon.
