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.
