Summary

What wisdom do fairy tales hold about childrearing in our modern world?

Briar Rose is the foundation for the familiar fairytale Sleeping Beauty. It addresses the complicated consequences of unconscious parenting. While it is understandable we wish to protect our children from harsh realities, too much shielding can hobble them later in life. We may hide our shadow from ourselves and our children, but it will irrupt uninvited one day, casting the family into chaos. Instinctive reactions often hold us in suspended animation, but they may also offer a way toward healing.

“Parents too easily content themselves with the belief that a thing hidden from the child cannot influence it.” CG Jung CW 18, para 1793

Prepare to discover where fairytales intersect with modern parenting, what impact avoiding shadow has on the family, whether parental fears affect child development, why understanding psychological stagnation is essential, how symbolic stories help children face challenges, and so much more…

0:00.0	Welcome to this Jungian life.
0:03.0	Three good friends and Jungian analysts, Lisa Marciano, Deborah Stewart and Joseph Lee,
0:09.0	invite you to join them for an intimate and honest conversation that brings a psychological perspective to important issues of the day.
0:17.0	I'm Lisa Marciano and I'm a youngian analyst in Philadelphia.
0:22.0	I'm Joseph Lee and I'm a youngian analyst in Philadelphia. I'm Joseph Lee and I'm a youngian analyst in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
0:27.0	I'm Deborah Stewart, a youngian analyst on Cape Cod. Today we are going to explore a fairy tale known to many people as Sleeping Beauty, also known as Little Briar Rose.
0:48.3	The fairy tales I often think of as our psychic bones. They have been around for millennia and have lasted because
0:58.6	embedded in them are really deep psychological truths about life.
1:07.0	So in today's tale, we'll think about whether
1:10.6	Sleeping Beauty's parents were they in fact the first snowplow or helicopter parents.
1:17.6	They try to avoid fate, can you really avoid your fate and how do we acknowledge the forces that be that are
1:29.4	beyond our ego capabilities for good or for ill.
1:36.2	And then finally, we'll be discussing a dream

1:53.2	Stay with us. So this is Sleeping Beauty, which is otherwise known as Little Briar Rose, and it's a
2:09.4	Grim's fairy tale. In times past there lived a king and queen who said to each other every day of their lives
2:17.3	Would that we had a child and yet they had none but it happened once that when the Queen was bathing there came a frog out of the water and he
2:26.4	squatted on the ground and said to her,
2:28.7	Thy wish shall be fulfilled. Before a year has gone by, thou shall bring a daughter into the world.
2:35.0	And as the frog foretold, so it happened, and the Queen bore a daughter so beautiful that the King could not contain himself for joy and he ordained a great feast.
