In Jung on the Hudson Summer Conference: The Pitfalls of Perfection
Sponsored by the New York Center for Jungian Studies
Live online presentations, during the conference July 20-24, 2025
Dr. Stromsted will be a featured presenter at the Jung on the Hudson Summer Conference: The Pitfalls of Perfection, held live via Zoom from July 20–24, 2025.
Noted Jungian analyst Marion Woodman described her journey through anorexia as an “addiction to perfection.” Through recovery, she discovered the joy of embodied consciousness, realizing, “To love the juicy side of life [is] being a human being who loves being in the body.” In this presentation, participants will reflect on how perfectionism manifests — through eating disorders, body image fixation, overwork, substance & internet misuse, and more — offering a path back to their authentic selves.
Through engaging embodied Active Imagination and dreams, participants will explore moving beyond arid perfectionism to rediscover untapped potential, reclaiming vitality, creativity, and a deeper connection with their humanity.
Other presentations will include inspiring offerings by noted analysts and authors:
James Hollis, PhD – Keynote
Dennis Patrick Slattery, PhD
Ann Ulanov, MDiv, PhD,
Morgan Stebbins, MDiv, LMSW, DMin, LP
