PART I ** Chapter 1: Unconsciousness

Until you make the

unconscious conscious,

it will direct your life

and you will call it fate.

~ Carl Jung

 

The first thing a therapist learns is that most people don’t know why they do what they do or feel what they feel.

We think we know, but we don’t.

Once, during a lecture, the mythologist Joseph Campbell drew a large circle on a blackboard and then added a tiny notch at the top. 

The circle, he said, represents the whole human being, and the notch represents the conscious part. 

The main goal of this book is to expand your conscious part — to raise your awareness of the forces that shaped you and where your feelings and behavior come from.

We’ll do that by looking at your family of origin and how it unconsciously conditioned you to see, feel and act.
