How Can Archetype Analysis Help You? The 10 Things You Need To Know
Today, self-actualisation, self-fulfilment and self-empowerment are subjects that people have become both more open to and interested in.
Ambitious and successful people have always existed, and excelled. However, in the past, many people have been content to work and play without pushing themselves or their loved ones on to greater things. The never ending quest to fulfill potential was not sought, with the majority accepting the circumstances of birth.
For many people their own personal history reflects disappointment and regrets of unachieved goals. Over time cultures and religion have suppressed freedom and personal desire in favour of a more controlling ‘do as we say’ approach. What’s more, ambitious people will only shine if the economic landscape encourages them to.
As we enter a new decade, people are encouraged by economic factors to change and re-invent themselves. We’ve seen an almost complete disappearance of the ‘Job for life’ and employees realise more than ever the importance of continuing there development throughout their working lives.
However, achieving self-fulfilment is a personal goal rather than an economical one. For most of us the question of reaching our potential and living a full, exciting and pleasurable life, is one of the most important questions of all.
What’s more, this is not a new revelation. Over time, many people have addressed questions, fears or disappointments in their life seeking an answer to one of the most difficult questions of all (think about the famous example of Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol).
However, until now, the right tools have not been available…
Today these tools have been finely honed by many psychologists dedicating, in some cases, decades of work and research to their practical development.
Archetype Analysis is one such tool.
Archetype Analysis is particularly adept at helping people through significant life quandaries, though it is just as good at helping people who are simply curious about what the intervention can do for them. Just a few of the questions that Archetype Analysis is especially well geared to answering and very often solving are:
Am I doing all I can with my life? I’m doing well, but how could I do better? My professional life feels good, but I feel I have no time for a personal life My personal life is good, but I feel I’m getting nowhere with my career No-one appreciates me I have to work too hard I feel I am worth more money than I am getting paid My partner takes me for granted I’m always doing things for people and never getting anything back I’m not sure what to do next in my life
Essentially Archetype Analysis is based on the principle that our lives, our assumptions and our beliefs are defined by the way we are brought up. Archetype Analysis assumes that these early, impressionable years, inevitably impact upon our decision making, relationships and other major areas of our lives.
