This episode uses the fairy tale “All-Kinds-of-Fur” to help you identify your survival pattern and take the next step out of it. When you update the rule you made when in trauma, you get your choices back.</p><p> </p><p>What you’ll learn</p><ul><li>Identify the “impossible promise” that keeps you stuck, and where it began.</li><li>Notice your “fur cloak,” the mask of busyness, perfectionism, people pleasing, or disappearing.</li><li>Stop confusing coping with identity, and start practicing safer honesty.</li><li>Practice the “30-minute return,” small windows to feel, speak, and be seen.</li><li>Build endurance through gentle reveal-retreat-return, until you can stay safely present.</li></ul><p> </p><p>Joseph Lee and Deborah Stewart, Jungian analysts, turn this tale into a guide to show how your inner world can heal after trauma.</p><p><br />In the tale, the princess survives by covering herself in fur and soot, and you may have built a costume too. That costume once protected you; now it may block love, work opportunities, and genuine intimacy. You might scroll at night, over function in relationships, or stay “fine” so nobody asks.<br /></p><p>Healing is repeated practice; you show up, you pull back, you show up again. The “gold” in the story is what stays intact in you, even after the worst day.</p><p><br /></p><p>This week, choose one safe moment to let that gold show, one honest sentence, one boundary, one small ask, then note the result.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Read along with the dream </strong><a href="https://thisjungianlife.com/Allerleirauh/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>HERE</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>LOOK & GROW</strong></p><p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/TJLdreamschool" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join THIS JUNGIAN LIFE DREAM SCHOOL</a></p><p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/TJLpodcastideas" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Do you have a topic you want us to cover?</a></p><p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/TJLPatreon" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WE NEED YOUR HELP!
