I'm 48 years old and this morning a quick thought (image) before getting up: It was like a father figure facing a child and then I felt an inner voice saying "Sorry Mommy" it got spoiled. I stayed in bed longer trying to get the meaning behind it and I think this whole time my heart (queen/mom) had been teaming up with my inner child (impulsivity/comforts/etc) behind my conscious knowledge (king/father). I realized how many silly mistakes I've been committing in the past year and it was a humbling experience, it still is.

I guess I have a lot to learn about myself

How can one differentiate between projection and simple bad behaviour?

Wow no comments. I found this interesting

The dream.. the book could be representing a part of herself she doesnt yet know or doesnt feel connected to. Snow can represent purity. Maybe she is connecting back to the purity and innocence she felt as a child and maybe feels like she lost a bit when her dad passed.

We only need stories so that we can feel like we are something and someone. It is only when we can become NOthing and NOone that we can be truly balanced and grounded and detached. No stories required. I am not claming to be here yet lol. But im working on it as we all are ❤

I'm surprised ya'll aren't incorporating more discussion about the big five personality traits (five factor model) like conscientiousness. Orderliness is a major facet of that. Additionally, mentioning known disorders of executive dysfunction like adhd seems appropriate. Jung is better with science.

HOLOTROPIC BREATH WORK facilitates deep body work & allows the unconscious trauma or joy

I find myself constantly itchy, all over. Once I scratch one area, I'm itchy somewhere else. I shower every day, so I don't think the problem is purely physical. Sometimes when I scratch an area, I want to scratch it more. I'm familiar with psychoanalytic ideas (Freud, Klein, Fairbairn, Winnicott, Fromm, Kohut, Lacan, Bion), and I've begun an interest in Jung, so I'm familiar with how unconscious conflicts resurface in unrecognizable ways. I wonder if my constant itching is because I'm 'itching' to do something with my life, if something is getting 'under my skin,' or if it's a result of toxic shame, and so I'm engaging in self-harm. What do you think?

What lovely conversations. The answers we are “asking for “ are within if we can only interpret . Wonderful teachings,

27:45 i didn't understand this. Joseph says "The unconscious strategy is to REFUSE to treat the pain.... So he can become an artist". But in the client's narrated fantasy, TAKING THE TYLENOL (treating the pain) is the strategy that leads him to becoming an artist. So which one is the unconscious strategy? Treating or not treating the pain?

I do cosmetic and scar revision tattooing and I have felt for years that not only do I stimulate emotions for the client but I definitely feel that their skin talks to me as I work. Current research is showing that the macrophage cell holds tattoo ink, and passes it to the neighboring cell every 2 weeks. So fascinating, thank you for the topic, pretty endless….

How is this for a topic: psychodermatology and Blackness, melanin, darkness of hue.

The opening statement... something like..As a man has in his heart so he is .. than the conversation shifted to thoughts defining.. mind.. it went from heart to mind .. the conversation diverted.. the opening statement offered a greater insight if followed..

I would love to learn more on Dr. Jorge Ulnick. Thank you for sharing about skin. I have been an Esthetician for 29 years and many thoughts have emerged in my work due to my own eczema.

I love the idea about psoriasis being a way of expressing that something is rushed and the region showing what is the thing that is rushed. For me it is in intimate regions and I have it since 13. I think all my life I couldn't accept that it's hard for me to find someone I feel truly for, so I rushed frequently into romantic relationships that would end because I am not feeling it. So I can definitely relate. Also, I am glad Joseph said that there is always a mind body connection. I also feel that they are in fact one and the same and we are under the illusion that they are separate. I am firmly convinced everything is interconnected and even illnesses without a cure have a mystery behind them.

Very interesting topic

What about keratosis? What causes it?

Very hard to verbalize this kind of knowledge. Thanks!

Hives, 2x in my life. Years ago I was in a toxic work environment and they disappeared when I left. Recently while on a contract work assignment in a psychiatric crisis hospital I developed them when moved from a unit I was settled into to a unit of more acutely ill patients. I immediately recognized this time, processed it, and the hives went away.

What could be the reason for vitiligo?

Tuned in today...spontaneously..synchronicity...much needed grounding ....journal writing...love your podcast ❤

As a child I was diagnosed the measles 8 times. Throughout my life I have experienced many skin issues, including fifths disease as an adult. Often; by the time I was able to get a dermatologist appointment the rash resolved. I retired from a 44 year nursing career two years ago. My father was an abusive alcoholic. The childhood rashes were unusual (like measles) appearing on my palms and the bottoms of my feet.

When I feel triggered I like to journal about it and list the facts. What actually happened? Then I ask "what am I making this mean?" Sometimes its helpful to find the benefits of the situation, other times I just need to give my inner child what she needs. Usually its something like safety or comfort

This excerpt and the longer discussion was my favorite video you guys have done!! I personally found it very helpful on top of it being generally FASCINATING please more like this :)

This was a skin-lightening talk, thank you

I love your hair

Interesting

Boarding School Survivors are the same as children in (privileged) orphanages, no one loves you.

Very, very Good Video! That's why I subscribed!

Im not an expert. Im just a survivor of the worst kind of Trauma. All I know is how bad this feels. If you dont experience the feeling of being trusted and valued when you are very young, you will search for that basic need for the rest of your life. Its really an incredible journey, that you alone will travel. The truth is nobody cared then and theyll never care now. Im staying on the pathway i have found, and everyone and everything , will have to be ignored by me. Sometimes seperating yourself from the Toxicity and violence is imperative to your survival. Certain famillies slowly kill.one another. You can clearly see it happening only if youre not too close to the situation.

Certain mothers have no idea what ot means to hold their little girl's hand in public. Do you accept her at that moment or do you attack and beat her in the street? When my mother assaulted me in public like that, all.i felt at that moment was Vindication. A stranger caught my Mother in all her glory. Bbeating the shit out of me in front of witnesses. Up until.then, she'd beat me when no one was around. Someone had finally SEEN this!! It felt GLORIOUS to me at that moment. She loathed me because i reminded her of her sister she absolutlely hated. I never got to meet my Aunt Gloria. Im sure shes my Guardian Angel..

I had breast cancer and my two tumors ulcerated my breast - it was awful - like raw hamburger with no cure . Couldn’t do mastectomy cause of the skin damage and nothin to close it up . Now my ulcers are healed but I have a red snake like discoloration that is all over the breast and up my shoulder . Thry tell me it is skin cancer but have no name for it ? All this occurred and still while caring for my disabled husband who I have had difficulty with for a long time but the good girl I am does what’s right . I know it but can’t seem to change it .and also as mean as he is I still love him - it is really hard to fix it when you’re in it.

I believe this was my calling. At 64, I still have a lot of regret and sadness that I just couldn't swing it financially - even the counseling degree. I was in the midst of that program 30 years ago when I found myself going through an unavoidable divorce. I ended up getting just a two-year MA (in Transpersonal Psych) and did not go on to the 3rd year for a counseling psych degree. The main reason for this is that I could not envision working full-time and doing the 3000 internship hours. The whole journey, as you say, is a huge commitment of time, dedication, and money. I have continued to read a lot and listen to podcasts like yours. This path really is for the privileged, unfortunately.

This makes so much sense to me. Especially regarding psoriasis. 🎉 you guys blow my mind almost every single day.

Jupiter as his father is way too literal but Mars as a place where he is stuck on a barren dry planet that is killing him is clear that he's not in a healthy safe space and Jupiter looming over him is the gods, the patriarchal gods or authority or time maybe it's Saturn that he's seeing and not Jupiter but it's certainly a heavy intense patriarchal powerful authority and the clock is ticking. he needs to make a decision and he's floundering in the dust. Dying.

The feminine is the ways however, saviour and destroyer

Thank you. Would love to learn more about how Jung's art style influenced authors and musicians

Thankyou for this I have been struggling to destroy and not destroy my skin for many years.

Beautifully spoken To unconsciously author our stories to a shift of consciously authoring our stories. Beautiful

Hy everyone!! I suffer of psoriasis since 10 years... and I think it start after a job on my theet with metal? Any opinion about that? Thanks in advance

Listen at 1.75 speed. My mind works too fast.

Thanks again for your reply

How much more exciting will the topics get!!!! Wow thanks!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi guys, I just want to say. I love you guys. I loved all of your episodes. But I particularly love (in debs voice) this episode. I didn’t expect coming in here to be able to see your faces. I’m so thankful for you.

We think feelings instead of witnessing the energy appearing in consciousness without making an image of it. That’s how the mind creates the world of perception and gets hypnotized by shadows, separating the whole into different things. Thoughts are form but energy has no form.

Good does not always triumph, sometimes the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better Angels of our nature.

I love this, thank you so much🙏🏻

Those of us with autoimmune disorders know this to be true.
