This is the last of our current series on the parent-child dynamics that shape our adult life. In this last installment we examine the Mother-Son relationship.
For men, the mother is his first experience of the Anima, their unconscious feminine principle in their psyche. Depending on their relationship with the mother, the man either cultivates their emotional intelligence or it stagnates which creates difficulty in connecting to others on a deeper level.
Eros is another term that Jung used to describe the feminine principle. If a man isn’t in touch with this principle, they are not consciously connecting to the soul within. This lack of connection leads to unfulfilling relationships, pursuing careers without meaning and establishing a sense of their own soulful nature.
Questions:
How would you describe your relationship with your mother growing up?
How do you project the assumptions about that relationship onto the women in your life, both romantically and otherwise?
How would you describe your relationship with your inner life, your soulful self?
In Jungian Depth Coaching we first begin with Shadow Work on the mother relationship and then the man can be free to pursue a deeper inner connection to his Anima. This frees us emotional availability, creativity and the ability to connect with others in a meaningful way.
In this week’s Soul Sessions by CreativeMind, Emotional Intelligence in Men and the Anima. Check out this episode to learn more, including:
The essential role of the mother archetype in individuationPositive and dark aspects of the mother-son bondThe impact of emotional enmeshment and the eternal child syndromeStrategies for men to balance their anima and achieve emotional intelligence

Have you ever fallen ill or had someone close to you get diagnosed with an illness and wonder if there is some psychological element to it? Those who follow personal and spiritual growth paths often blame themselves for “attracting” their illness or think of it as some gift or lesson that they needed to learn.
So, how can you deal with illness, body wellness from a psychospiritual perspective? Can you consciously return your body to optimal health through shadow work?
Over the years, some of our clients had some health issues and the process of shadow work has helped them deal with the emotional and physical discomforts of what their body was going through at the time. Working with their emotions, active imagination and being willing to access their inner wisdom they felt more empowered.

Here are some key insights we discussed:

Your Persona is the face you present to the world, particularly in professional settings, while your Shadow houses the parts of yourself you tend to hide. The tension between these can lead to significant professional challenges.

🌿 The Role of Family Dynamics:Learn how critical parental figures shape your responses to authority and feedback in the workplace. Addressing these projections can help improve your interactions with superiors.

We all have the one family member that seems to be challenging us. Whether it is a parent who we still hold resentment from childhood or a sibling who always brings out the worst in us, we feel that the situation will never change.
The biggest mistake people make when trying to heal family conflicts is projection. They believe if the other person would change, everything would be better. If they were nicer, more understanding, more loving or even respectful then life would be easier.
The problem with this projection is that it robs us of our power. We feel powerless unless they change.
That is the beauty of shadow work. In shadow work, you get to recognize your own projections in the dynamic because as the saying goes, “It takes two to tango.”
A great question to ask yourself in a difficult relationship is what I am bringing to this dynamic? What triggers me about that person that I deny about myself.
In this week’s Soul Sessions by CreativeMind, “How Shadow Work Heals Family Conflicts. Check out this episode to learn more, including…
The difference between Shadow vs. Persona and how it impacts personal growth.How family dynamics, like parent-child relationships and sibling rivalry, trigger shadow aspects.How to deal with your shadow in marriage or romantic relationshipsThe role of cultural expectations and birth order in shaping personality and behavior.How uncovering and integrating shadow traits can lead to psychological and emotional growth.•••

In this episode we explore:
Ego and Mind: Often, what we perceive as mindset is tied to the ego, which is more concerned with survival and maintaining past self-concepts. This limits new creative potentials.Why You Are Most Likely Using a Defensive Strategy: Creating from a place of ego results in defensive strategies rather than authentic expression, which leads to unfulfilling outcomes.Illusion of Ego's Success: Achieving success through ego-driven efforts (like wealth or fame) often leads to a never-ending psychological struggle, failing to provide true happiness.Creating from Your Persona also Creates a Shadow: Understand how over-identifying with the Persona creates a shadow, leading to cycles of dissatisfaction despite achieving external goals.True Self and Higher Consciousness: Shifting from an ego-centered consciousness to your true self is crucial for genuine fulfillment and creativity.Real Creative Process: Creating from a higher consciousness is a joyful experience, unlike the constant struggle when creating from the ego.Examine Your Desires: True creative goals are driven by higher consciousness, not just social and physical survival needs.Wisdom Faculty: Awakening your wisdom faculty allows you to break free from the limitations of ego-driven creation, leading to higher self-awareness and genuine transformation.Introspection and Self-Inquiry: Key practices to observe your thoughts without being swept away by them, sharpening your mind's creative potential.Reality as Imagination: Neurological and philosophical perspectives suggest our reality is a “controlled hallucination,” revealing the profound role of the mind in shaping our experiences.Are you an aspiring coach or active coach that is interested in incorporating Jungian Psychology into your practice?

Debra and Dr. Rob discuss the benefits of incorporating Jungian coaching principles as a relationship coach. Understanding attachment styles, the unconscious mind, and the deeper dynamics of relationships can help coaches guide their clients more effectively, whether they are single, going through a divorce or seeking to improve their current relationships.
The key is to focus on the client's relationship with themselves, as this is often reflected in their external relationships. This depth-oriented approach goes beyond basic "positive thinking" strategies to address the root causes of relationship challenges. Self-understanding and the Jungian concepts of the shadow and the anima/animus in relationships are important for deeper growth.
The persona we present to the world can lead us to attract the opposite, or "shadow" parts of ourselves that we've repressed. By integrating the shadow, we can then work on connecting with others at a deeper, soulful level through the anima/animus - the universal, divine force that drives us to merge with another person. This process of self-discovery and integration is key to forming truly meaningful relationships.
We discuss the importance of doing inner work and integrating one's own shadow before seeking a soulmate connection. When we project our ideals onto others, we give away our power and set ourselves up for disappointment. By reclaiming our projections through shadow work, we can meet others from a place of wholeness and authenticity, leading to more fulfilling and lasting relationships
The journey of self-discovery is challenging but essential for finding a true soul-to-soul connection. It's important to take personal responsibility in relationships, rather than blaming external factors or seeking an "ideal" partner. Growth and strengthening bonds can happen even through difficult times, as long as individuals are willing to do the inner work and not put all their needs on their partner
The key is to empower oneself, accept responsibility, and approach relationships with an open and positive mindset, rather than fear of getting hurt again. We share the importance of healthy, conscious relationships and how to guide others through the process of personal growth and shadow work.
By doing this inner work, individuals have found meaningful relationships and strengthened their existing partnerships. The focus is on normalizing human patterns and empowering people to transcend their conditioned behaviors, rather than dwelling on trauma or inner child healing. This process leads to lasting change, rather than just addressing symptoms.
