ABSTRACT

Andrew and I met for the first time in Berlin in April 2015, where he was giving a series of lectures on ‘How to Choose Your Therapist’, ‘Polyamory’, and other themes. Several days before his workshop I had received an email from one of his former MA students, saying: ‘There is a very important Jungian in Berlin. You cannot miss him …’ Almost as if it were an order, I followed, signing up without hesitation, and attended. Ça va sans dire I had never even heard of him before! Although on that Saturday I was only supposed to take part in one section of his workshop, I ended up staying the full day (which annoyed my wife and friends as I missed our planned afternoon activities and arrived late for dinner). But it was worth it! Without a doubt, it was a coup de foudre (at least from my side), and I spent the entire dinner talking about Andrew to my wife and friends. I clearly recall the puzzled expressions on their faces…
