This short story shows how worries from childhood can continue to haunt one for years to come. Such stress can result in insomnia or physical ailments if left unchecked. This is part of a series of short stories depicting other archetypal states such as the victim child, saboteur, and critic. Stories have a natural manner of triggering responses within, heightening and deepening our self-awareness. Over time, such self-awareness leads to self-healing. To delve deep into the above-mentioned archetypes take a look at the courses I have available for you 'Archetypal Psychology' and 'More Archetypal Psychology'.

He reassured himself.

It should be fine.

Aah yes my wildly anxious fearful,stressed out mother....there was never enough money in her mind,even though there was (poor Dad worked 2 jobs) I sadly feel anxious sometimes and feel lack in my life (not to the extent Mum did) but it happens.I try and practice a mindset of abundance and gratitude.Gratitude practice is easier.....
