  • FACING REJECTION
    Learn to Interpret Dreams with Us! https://tinyurl.com/TJLdreamschoolFacing Rejection forces us to confront what we fear losing—belonging, recognition, identity. Rejection alters how we see ourselves, engage with others, and interpret the world. It shapes unconscious complexes, creates projections, and influences attachment. It appears in myths where exiled figures return transformed, in dreams where locked doors symbolize what we refuse to see, and in defenses against further pain. Healing from rejection requires engaging with its effects, not avoiding them. Some of us externalize rejection, which becomes resentment, further isolating us. Others internalize it as self-doubt, creating cycles of withdrawal and hiding. Some break the pattern, using rejection as a catalyst for self-development, learning to integrate what was once denied. Rejection strips away illusions, forces an encounter with shadow, and demands a new understanding of self-worth. It is present in villains seeking revenge, heroes growing through exile, and those transforming suffering into insight. Growth is not in avoiding rejection but facing its effects without retreating into bitterness or fear. In today’s episode, we explore how rejection influences Psyche, how myths encode its lessons, how shadow work leads to integration, and how individuation turns rejection into wisdom. PREPARE TO DISCOVER what rejection reveals about the forces that shape our experiences, how rejection creates opportunities for transformation, which unconscious patterns emerge when rejection is internalized, whether rejection leads to individuation, why rejection is necessary to reclaim unconscious material …AND SO MUCH MORE. Here’s a copy of the dream we analyzed: https://thisjungianlife.com/facing-rejection The hosts of This Jungian Life published their first book together!

  • The Archetypal Brain: Jung from an Evolutionary Perspective
    JOIN US IN DREAM SCHOOLWith Deb and Joe out this week, Lisa speaks with Gary Clark, a visiting research fellow at the University of Adelaide, about his book Carl Jung and the Evolutionary Sciences.The discussion delves into the influence of indigenous cultures on understanding consciousness, the role of anthropology in Jung's work, and the implications of evolutionary development on human psychology.Humanity's ancient rituals underscore the importance of integrating the primordial emotional brain with the newer neocortex. Reconnecting to these practices in a contemporary setting can help facilitate integration and well-being, especially during the tumultuous adolescent years.Gary and Lisa further explore the connections between maternal love, Jungian psychology, and the biological underpinnings of social bonding. They discuss the concepts of anima and animus, and the psychological implications of sex-based differences.They also delve into the roles of Eros and Logos in understanding gender differences and the potential of psychedelics in exploring consciousness. More than ever, there is a pressing need for a synthesis of modern scientific understanding with the rich, archetypal dimensions of human experience. Learn more about our Dream Telepathy Project Find the books mentioned in the show

  • Changing the Foundation of Personality: the Secret Power of Attitudes
    Revolutionize Your Nights – Join Dream School and Master Your Dreams! https://thisjungianlife.com/join-dream-school/⁠ Transformation isn’t about muscling through change—it’s about loosening the grip on rigid perspectives so energy can move. Resist, and the unconscious will find a way forward anyway—through symptoms, dreams, and compulsions that shake up the illusion of control. Neurosis is just a traffic jam in the psyche—energy stuck where it no longer belongs. Real change isn’t an intellectual hack; it’s a shift in how we hold and release energy. The unconscious doesn’t hand out easy answers; it reveals what’s missing. Healing isn’t about control—it’s about letting things realign. The more we resist, the more we stay stuck. The moment we allow, the shift begins. What follows doesn’t just describe transformation—it helps it happen.

  • What Remains When All Is Taken: Standing in the LA Fires
    Fire strips everything away, leaving only what truly matters. In the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires, homes have become ash, familiar streets are unrecognizable, and life feels uncertain. But fire is not just destructive—it is also transformational. Pamela Power, a Los Angeles Jungian analyst and author, joins us to explore the tensions within this experience. Fire erases yet reveals. It devastates yet clears space for renewal. Loss forces us to let go yet also asks: What endures? Though grief pulls us down, something in us reaches toward life. The weight of ashes is real, but so is the quiet, unseen stirring of what comes next. Find the dream we analyze HERE: www.thisjungianlife.com/LAwildfires/

  • Feet, Fashion, and Freedom: Shoes as Symbols of Identity
    What do the choices we make about the things we carry and wear reveal about who we are and the paths we take in life?  Shoes as Symbols connect identity, culture, and creative adaptation. Shoes reflect our movement through life and mark pivotal transitions, helping us hold the tension between vulnerability and agency. They appear in myths and stories as agents of change, signaling the emergence of a new attitude and facilitating its embodiment. The simple act of wearing shoes bridges the physical and psychological, grounding us while enabling exploration. Shoes communicate individual and collective identity, shaping and revealing roles in society. Tales, like Hans Christian Andersen’s The Red Shoes and Cinderella with her glass slippers, dramatize the tension between freedom and constraint, alienation and belonging. Exploring shoes in cultural narratives reveals their role in expressing and shaping psyche. Whether it’s the first tiny black patent leather shoes for a holiday or the first ski boots, their presence in childhood marks key moments of growth and self-discovery. Shoes empower us to adventure forward by protecting our vulnerable feet in innumerable styles that reflect the way we wish to be seen. Without realizing it, every step reveals where we’ve come from and where we are heading.  Prepare to discover… what shoes signify about the evolving relationship between our inner selves and the outer world we traverse, how shoes function as symbols of the soul's journey, expressing shifts in identity and steps toward psychological integration, which stories use shoes to represent the critical thresholds of life, such as independence, power, and self-discovery, whether the symbolic act of wearing or discarding shoes reveals the psyche’s readiness for change or its resistance to transformation, why shoes, seemingly mundane objects, have become symbols of the human struggle for purpose, freedom, and meaning…and so much more.
