This is the last of our current series on the parent-child dynamics that shape our adult life. In this last installment we examine the Mother-Son relationship.
For men, the mother is his first experience of the Anima, their unconscious feminine principle in their psyche. Depending on their relationship with the mother, the man either cultivates their emotional intelligence or it stagnates which creates difficulty in connecting to others on a deeper level.
Eros is another term that Jung used to describe the feminine principle. If a man isn’t in touch with this principle, they are not consciously connecting to the soul within. This lack of connection leads to unfulfilling relationships, pursuing careers without meaning and establishing a sense of their own soulful nature.
Questions:
How would you describe your relationship with your mother growing up?
How do you project the assumptions about that relationship onto the women in your life, both romantically and otherwise?
How would you describe your relationship with your inner life, your soulful self?
In Jungian Depth Coaching we first begin with Shadow Work on the mother relationship and then the man can be free to pursue a deeper inner connection to his Anima. This frees us emotional availability, creativity and the ability to connect with others in a meaningful way.
In this week’s Soul Sessions by CreativeMind, Emotional Intelligence in Men and the Anima. Check out this episode to learn more, including:
The essential role of the mother archetype in individuationPositive and dark aspects of the mother-son bondThe impact of emotional enmeshment and the eternal child syndromeStrategies for men to balance their anima and achieve emotional intelligence
