Carl Jung gave us a language for the inner world, symbols, archetypes, and patterns that help us understand who we are beneath the surface. But when most people hear archetypes, they imagine strict categories, masculine gods, or a psychological textbook gathering dust on a shelf.

In therapy, people often come seeking clarity. They're not lost exactly, but they’re somewhere unfamiliar. The terrain is mental, emotional, psychic, spiritual. And so they ask: What does this mean? Where am I headed? What now?

We are, at our core, story-makers.

Long before we had science, therapy, or diagnosis codes, we made sense of life by telling stories, to each other, to the stars, to ourselves.
