💀🌅In the latest episode of our Jungian Alchemy series, we discuss MORTIFICATIO.
Mortificatio is an alchemical term for the moment a life-organizing identity collapses.
We might call it burnout, divorce, depression, retirement shock, institutional betrayal, or a terrifying medical diagnosis.
The alchemists called it “death,” and Jungians understand it as part of the psychology of transformation.
Join us to explore how to survive periods of wintering in your life.

In this free edition of Jung Love, our subscriber bonus content, a Patron asks:
I keep hearing and reading that symbols are healing and transformative for people, but this concept is so arbitrary to me. I need some very specific and concrete examples of how a symbol can help a person in the various dilemmas of life we all can face. Can you please give a few examples in laymans terms?
