This presentation describes the traditional life review, in midlife or beyond, as the ego’s life review. By recalling the key people and events in our lives, we can reframe our life stories, see where we now need emotional or spiritual repair, and discover hidden patterns and new meanings.
But we know that another life has been living in the unconscious, so we must add the dimension of Shadow — how to connect what was expressed with what was repressed. In this way, the unlived life moves into conscious awareness, and we have the opportunity to reclaim some of the feelings, talents, and aspirations that were sacrificed in the morning of life.
