About this Session
šÆļø Your pain is not just something to surviveāit may be what makes you wise.
In Jungian psychology, the Wounded Healer archetype represents the paradox that our greatest strength often grows from our deepest wound. Carl Jung believed that therapistsāand all people, reallyāare most effective in helping others not despite their wounds, but because of them. Similarly, in mythology, the figure of Chiron (a centaur and healer) could heal others but not himself.
š¬ This session, we'll explore how our wounds shape the way we care for others and ourselves.
- In what ways has my pain made me more empathetic or insightful?
- Is there a wound I still fear acknowledgingābut that might hold power if explored gently?
š Let talk about it š

About this Space
Thereās a part of you that lives beneath the surfaceāquiet, powerful, and often overlooked.
š The Hidden Self is a Space to explore your unconscious mind through the lens of Jungian psychology. Together, weāll reflect on the masks we wear (the persona), the parts of ourselves weāve pushed away (the shadow), and the symbols and dreams that offer clues to who we really are.
When we turn toward the hidden parts of ourselves, we often find the clarity, purpose, and self-trust weāve been searching for.
The Hidden Self is for anyone who wants to explore:
- Jungian concepts like the persona, shadow, and archetypes
- Dream interpretation and the symbolic language of the psyche
- Shadow work and inner integration
- How unconscious patterns shape our relationships, choices, and sense of meaning
Prompts to Consider
- Which Jungian archetype do you resonate with most (e.g., the Hero, the Shadow, the Anima/Animus)?
- What patterns keep repeating in your lifeāand what might they be asking you to face?
- What have your recent dreams been trying to show you?
āThe dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soulā¦ā ā Carl Jung
