Exploring the Dual Nature of Archetypes

This episode explores archetypes using Caroline Myss’s deck, and explores how they embody both light and dark attributes. For instance, the "bully" archetype highlights the tendency to intimidate others and confront inner fears, while its shadow side conceals deep fears behind abuse. We discuss the significance of understanding these archetypes to move towards the light. We cover various archetypes like the mother, father, companion, and addict, each having unique light and shadow attributes. I encourage you to reflect on these archetypes in your lives, understand their behaviors, and strive for balance.
