Background

About Jacquelyn Rinaldi

Jacquelyn Rinaldi received her doctorate in archetypal psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. Her teaching incorporates self-awareness as a key to humanity’s next evolutionary step. She is currently completing her second doctorate in clinical psychology at California School of Professional Psychology. She has earned a certificate from Stanford in Compassion Cultivation Training and completed a 2-year mindfulness teacher training program. Jacquelyn’s teachings incorporate deepening self-awareness as a key to achieving more psychological wholeness. Living with more psychological wholeness directly affects how we govern, lead, teach, manage, inspire, parent, and relate in our personal and professional relationships. The more self-aware we are, the more apt we are to choose assertive, wholehearted, compassionate responses when challenging situations arise. As we deepen our self-awareness, we also develop greater clarity, compassion, and resilience. Jacquelyn has a coaching practice as well as works as a supervised psychotherapist; in her coaching and therapy work she is enthusiastic about helping clients reach their full potential. Her approach to supporting growth in clients is to create opportunities for clients to see a wider perspective. As we understand the pushes and pulls from within our psyche, we often begin to question our automatic responses, creating a wider view that makes new choices more clear and different outcomes possible. When these automatic responses remain unconscious, they often create thinking patterns that limit our success, through therapy and hard work outcomes change. Jacquelyn is the first author of her book: Learning Compassion: Conflict Resolution through Education and Therapy. She is the second editor of New Vision and New Voices: Extending the Principles of Archetypal Pedagogy to Include a Variety of Venues, Issues, and Projects, Vol 2. She authored a chapter in the book titled, Educating for Integration, Not Annihilation.
