mother
Definition:
The mother archetype embodies nurturing, protection, creation, and destruction. It appears in myths, dreams, and personal experiences as both a positive force of care and a potentially overwhelming presence, representing the dual aspects of growth and dependency.
Example:
Working with the mother archetype helps clients explore their relationship with dependency, nurturing, and independence. For example, a recurring dream of a critical mother figure may reflect unresolved childhood dynamics.
