Dr. Daniel Z. Lieberman returns for an encore discussion on Thoughts on Record to discuss his most recent book Spellbound, which explores the untapped potential of our unconscious minds. In this conversation we cover:

defining of our conscious and unconscious minds
why Dr. Lieberman wanted to write this book
getting to know what wants, needs & agendas our unconscious mind might have
unpacking the wisdom of fairy tales about the unconscious
shadow work: what the shadow is, the Jungian notion of shadow work and the value it might have through the lens of your book
what are archetypes, why do we have/need them and “where” do they reside within the structure of the psyche of the unconscious mind
the notion of the fascination with someone being perhaps, in part, related to our seeing a universal archetype in that person
why integration such an important process for adults to engage in
the gift and burden of awareness
leveraging the desires of the unconscious as a compass with respect to where to take one’s life
knowing when we have aligned vs misaligned the will of our unconscious and conscious mind
