This seminar explores the relationship between the Mother complex, the Mother archetype and the Self.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In this seminar, we will consider archetypal and developmental perspectives to explore the effect of our experience of \u2018Mother\u2019, revisiting Neumann\u2019s seminal insight that the personal mother functions as a \u2018locus of incarnation\u2019 of the Self.<\/p>\n

When yearning for connection is thwarted, a negative archetypal constellation emerges; the symbolic realm may be foreclosed.<\/p>\n

Drawing on detailed clinical material, we witness how the re-emergence of arrested longing can coincide with reawakened symbolic capacity.<\/p>\n

The regressive pull into the wounds of the personal mother complex is understood not simply as a return to the past, but as a purposive process: facilitating a vital, restorative connection to the creative potentialities of the Self.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
