Fieldwork study of rituals in Jungian therapy

My current fieldwork is about rituals in Jungian psychology and I am very excited about it.

A definition of ritual that I really like is: a series of acts that a person engages in to achieve an indirect result.

Right now I am conducting interviews with therapists about rituals, reading case stories and have completed a Jungian analysis which I will be using for my field report which is due February.

Preliminary results are that there exists rituals on the level of interaction in the therapy session as well as on a very broad scale of the therapist journeying together with the client to find a part of themselves which has been denied expression, confronting the pain that caused the exclusion and gradually negotiating if and how to integrate and live with this lost part of the self.
When asked the question why is Jungian therapy not a ritual, the answer is that the individual content that can roughly fit into the aforementioned pattern and a good analogy of the ritual being the finger, but the individual therapy having its own thumbprint is quite meaningful to me.

When asked about faith in regards to therapy being a sacred or secular ritual a therapist said that he believed it to be most important that the therapist believes in the therapy and that the patient does not need to know the dynamics or believe in them, in order for them to work on the patient, which is an answer that completely defies research question.

I will be posting the new events of this fieldwork regularly
