Episode notes
Anima and Animus Defined
- The anima and animus are inner feminine and masculine energies shaping our psyche and relationships.
- They form the invisible architecture of attraction, projection, and conflict.
Origins of Anima and Animus
- The anima and animus are shaped early by opposite-sex parent relationships and collective cultural images.
- These early experiences create blueprints for what we find attractive or repulsive in others.
Intellectual Men and Emotional Women
- Severely intellectual men often depend on emotional women to awaken their inner anima.
- This projection leads to unrealistic expectations and eventual disappointment in relationships.
