Synopsis

A Jungian facilitator uses an uplifting personal story of her awakening from depression to explain the human shadow and the archetypes through our daily experiences of them and the pivotal role played by our resistance to change, the hidden player that seeks to save us from behavior it considers dangerous and, when honored for its protective role, stands down and becomes a wise ally.
