Episode notes
Unconscious Influences
- Unconscious processes, like feelings, energy, and meaning-making, significantly influence our lives, often without our awareness.
- These unconscious systems have an agenda of self-healing and seeking expression, and psychopathology arises when we're misaligned with them.
Impact of Childhood
- Childhood experiences shape our unconscious, often leading us to make choices based on codependence or the need for approval.
- These choices, while not inherently bad, can create internal conflict if they don't align with our true selves.
Dream Communication
- Dreams offer a valuable avenue for the unconscious to communicate with us.
- They can be reactive, processing daily events, or compensatory, addressing neglected parts of our nature.
