BHE 051 - The Archetypal Masculine - Curtis Nielsen

This week we’re joined by Curtis, an actor, jungian dreamworker, and therapist who leads John’s jungian men’s group. Curtis takes us on a journey of masculine issues from an archetypal and mythological lens, as a continuation of the discussion we had on the serial killer pod. The individuation process and why leaving mother and integrating the feminine is important for the masculine. How men unconsciously self-sabotage as way to instigate in the ritual of individuation. How men cling to archetypal insecure masculinity in the absence of an individuation process. The relationship between rage and intimacy in men. The “death mother” and the encounter with the shadow. What should men do? And finally, How dream work can be a gateway to accessing the unconscious.
