Summary

⁠⁠DREAM WITH US, and we’ll teach you how to interpret them!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Although only some of us talk aloud to ourselves, all of us have inner voices, even if we are not aware of them. These autonomous parts of ourselves provide running commentary on how and what we are doing. Are our inner commentators friendly and supportive, or critical and attacking? We turn to fairy tales, stories that arise from the collective unconscious, for wisdom about our relationship with those parts of ourselves that tend to operate autonomously. The Ill-Fated Princess must climb a mountain to confront and befriend her “bad Fate,” after which her destructive unconscious complex befriends her. In Vasalisa the Beautiful, a loving mother gives her daughter a doll that provides good advice in difficult situations. The bad Fate and Vasalisa’s doll illustrate the process of noticing how we relate to other parts of ourselves—and by changing a negative inner dynamic we become more whole.

0:00.0	Welcome to this Jungian life. Three good friends and Jungian analysts, Lisa Marchiano,
0:07.0	Deborah Stewart and Joseph Lee, invite you to join them for an intimate and honest conversation
0:12.0	that brings a psychological perspective to important issues of the day.
0:17.0	I'm Lisa Marchiano, and I'm a Jungian analyst in Philadelphia. I'm Joseph Lee, and I'm a Jungian analyst in Philadelphia.
0:22.5	I'm Joseph Lee and I'm a Jungian analyst in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
0:27.5	I'm Deborah Stewart, a Jungian analyst on Cape Cod.
0:37.2	We're going to be talking about self-talk today.
0:40.6	This is a topic that I put forward because it winds up being really important in terms of when I work with clients.
0:49.0	And I'm just thinking about it all the time and noticing it.
0:52.6	And there are a lot of schools of psychotherapy that address self-talk in one way or another,
0:58.9	notably cognitive behavioral therapy.
1:01.7	And I've always been curious about how we can integrate what we know about self-talk
1:06.9	within a Jungian framework.
1:08.5	And so I'm excited to discuss it today.
1:12.3	Well, it turns out,
1:19.3	I think, that all of us talk to ourselves all the time, and that is certainly a very Jungian concept, because there's communication going on all the time between our egos or conscious
1:26.2	sense of self, and these other parts of ourselves
1:30.7	that are like a whole little Greek chorus commenting on everything we do all day long.
1:36.5	And the issue, it seems to me, is what we've embraced in today's podcast is how do we raise
1:43.2	that to consciousness so that we can pay more attention
1:46.4	to ourselves? What are we saying to ourselves? Yeah, I mean, obviously this takes us into the realm
1:51.9	of the complex, which is a key Jungian idea that we haven't talked about a lot explicitly
