Make Your Myth, Face Your Shadow & Own Your Truth with Erick Godsey

Here is a mere smidge of the ground that we covered:

💊   Erick's view on the broken system of Western medicine and why SSRIs and psychiatric drugs are no better than a placebo.

🎭   His perspective on a psychological model called 'Internal Family Systems' that articulates the multitudes of characters within us all.

🧙‍♂️  The Jungian book on mature masculine archetypes that changed his life and the way he shows up in relationship.

😴   Why it's worth paying more attention to our dreams.

📝   The journal prompt that he would prescribe to someone who is looking at the world in despair right now and feeling overwhelmed with the crises that are unfolding.

🤔  Why no human is equipped with the biological apparatus to perceive the actual world, but that we create models that are useful to us.

✊  The spiritual commitment he made to write morning pages for an hour every day after hitting rock bottom.

❤️  His views on grief as the active process of digesting attachments to love.

🖋️  The tragic beauty of the human condition—that we suffer so much more than we have to, because of the stories that we tell ourselves

🐺  Why the ego is NOT the enemy, but more like a wolf (and how to join forces with it)
