PERSONA ARCHETYPES


INTRODUCTION

Persona Archetypes


We have information available to us at the press of a key, explaining to us how to feel better, be more successful and connected, find love and be mindful and grateful. However we find ourselves in a widespread mental health and soul-sickness crisis, we're feeling worse, not better. More and more people suffer in loneliness and distress. Our relationships falter and we're dissatisfied with how we spend our days. We feel lost but we can't seem to grasp 'what we want' from life.


Despite actively seeking help and having a genuine commitment to 'follow through' and 'do the work'; healing, growth, joy and fulfilment are evading us. Why?*


The answer is simple: 1) We don't know who we really are and 2) We don't have the tools and knowledge to identify and manage our own self-sabotaging behaviours and thoughts.


*Please note that for some this is due to loss, trauma or clinical health conditions. The information provided on this site is for educational purposes only, and does not substitute for professional medical advice. If you are in crisis we strongly encourage you to seek professional help.


Katie Eden Todd practiced as a therapist for over 30 years, realising that to make any real and lasting change to people's lives, total self-awareness and self-acceptance was key. This is where the Persona Archetype Language takes you; on a soul-psyche journey to discover your Persona Archetypes and your unique Persona Map.


Your Map (your Self) serves as an anchor while you explore and propel through your comfort, and dis-comfort, zones. This work weaves through your ancestral history, self-sabotaging patterns, triggers, fears and trauma whilst healing and re-weaving the inner threads of your life, leading you towards your true purpose and deeper meaning of life.


The best place to begin this journey is by taking the Quiz. Once you have your results, keep reading...
