Noumenon - A Therapist's Quest in Verses is a poetic quest chronicling the author's twenty-year journey to discovering her calling to become a psychologist. In Kantian philosophy, the term noumenon denotes an object or event as it exists independently of perception by the senses. The book encapsulates the metamorphosis of an individual and the catalytic roles she embraces—daughter, friend, sister, colleague, wife, mother, and above all, a human being striving to find meaning, worth, and purpose amidst her circumstances and experiences. This odyssey is a testament to a transformational journey that carries within it the hope of personal growth & individuation.
Structured around Carl Jung’s twelve universal archetypes, the poems convey a spectrum of moods and dispositions, offering deep insights into human thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. The selection of artwork holds personal significance to the author, enhancing the quest's emotional resonance.
The theme of Noumenon revolves around constructive resilience and the peregrination of healing and coping. Through empathetic reflections on life’s incongruities and analogies, the author invites readers to explore different realms of consciousness and alchemize their own versions of Being on their path to self-discovery, self-actualization and transformation.
