Love this guy. Did 6 years of postdoctoral training in psychoanalysis and only recently started reading Hollis. He pretty much sums up what I took away from those 6 years in a couple of his thin, but very insightful books.
If you’ve popped into the comments to decide whether to watch this because you’re *reluctantly ready* to do shadow work, and really commit to it, I’m here to tell you this conversation is a powerful invitation to move forward in spite of your fears or doubts. It will give you a clearer understanding of why shadow work is so important and so worthy - and why it’s our responsibility to ourselves, our loved ones, and the world, to honor this most noble work. “What you’ve become is now your chief obstacle.” “Where there is a block or where you’re stuck is a summons to courage and accountability.” ~ Dr. Hollis Thank you Dr. Hollis and Freddy Drabble, for an enlightening, informative, and deeply inspiring discussion. ✨🌱
The Shadow will always be important to discuss because it also has sociological implications in modern-day social issues and "scapegoats". Even the Hegelian idea of the "master/slave" dialectic is basically the Conscious/Shadow. The Master looks at the Slave seeing all the parts of himself he is afraid of and hates. The Slave sees all the contemptible tyranny -- that he has the capacity for within himself -- within the Master.
Wow! Your explanation on shadowing is profound. I am 56 and I know I have lived my parents life and now my kids are having to live my unfinished business.
For having been 4yrs in pscho-analysis, I come to the conclusion 10yrs on that it’s a double edged sword. Yes, I learned alot about myself and my shadows but also learned about my parents, family, friends and relationships. I’ve had to step away to detach and not be constantly overwhelmed by what my environment was. I now feel lonely, spurs of anger and deep sadness. I now have to find a new path, new relationships that would soothe this huge black hole. 😢
Incredible interview. I honestly needed to hear this today, it's synchronistic actually. Please please I would love you to have another conversation with Bernardo, the first one was one of the best he's been in. Also, I know this is kind of outside (or maybe not) of your type of interview, but I think it could be quite interesting for you to invite Rupert Spira here. Anyways, much love and support! Thanks for this 🙏
It’s hard to understand western psychology sometimes being Asian. Our culture is so heavily focused on the family unit and doing things for the greater good…
It's about creating a healthy balance btwn individualist (Western) verse collective (Asian, Chinese, african) cultures as too much of either is detrimental to being authentic and growth.
This world is all shadows, which is why it is so dif to grasp the full concept of shadow. Everything around us is shadow. which makes light bringers like Jung to appear as evil. My task is to reveal Jung in his genius but also to esxpose where he has shadow. Jung desires I do so. Jung desires that someone, ME, carries his touch of gnosis. Since no one else wants to, it falls on me. I need another 5 yrs of critical studies in Jung, God willing my health will be restored and I will carryu Jung's torch. I am against the old Jungains and The New Jungians, 'My task is to bring Jung to light and also to correct his passages where he needs revision, additions. Like I say 5_ yrs I will be ready to share my encounters with CG. Yes I have actualencounters, JUng calls this active imagination, But I will retag this as Active Encounters,, as if we continue to use Imagination,, we can not abbreviate to AI, as that implies artifical intelligence. So AE = Active Encounter So whenever you see AE, this is the new tag for Jung';s active imagination. AE. Paul new Orleans
This is what an abusive narcissist will tell a target victim to do shadow work. They parrot everyone. I personally do not need shadow work. I'm a happy woman with hopes and goals to achieve. God assists me.
Making an unconscious entity aware of its existence is quite a radical form of introspective psychotherapy, manifesting this unconsciousness as a conscious aware of its own probable malevolence and malfeasance isn’t what I wanted the conversation to evolve into, such a dark dangerous topic should not be taken lightly, how can this be helpful, I love performing but this is quite a different beast. I can’t begin to have a clue on where to be helpful, contrary to everything said why was this conversation a first principal’s topic at all. . Why couldn’t there have been a real man to man discussion on this. Why so much deception and manipulation here between a man and this conversation , Why in gods name was this a first principles awareness and why has this trickster allowed into existence. For all the troubling painful issues to impart on a free spirit this is the worst…..Considering how sensitive they discussed the topic I’m surprised there is a functioning vehicle here for my use. To be clear this isn’t necessary or desirable by way of a conversation. Its just so painful and uncomfortable I don’t know what to do with myself. The topic is stale stagnant and pitiful and should’ve been outlawed. Thank you Rising Son records for the macroscopic conversation , and thanks to my mind for making something out of this real nothingness burger sandwich. Really Should have had a spare set of keys handy. Would’ve been so much more fun.
At risk of sounding like an imbecile, is that from a personal perspective and or an instant reaction? Or can you cite it, because it is so brilliant I can’t help but admire it? Nice one!!
Why are you donating to abused children and women money earned from a movie about men? You're not acknowledging the numerous abused boys who become injured men, plus all the men abused wives and girlfriends as well as by the system in general.

He is so so so great ! Love this man !

The best discussion i have heard about the shadow. It might be very fruitful for a duscussion to happen between Iain McGilchrist and Dr Hollis.
This was a very important and good discussion thank you.
Thank you so much, Freddy and James for an extraordinarily rich and wise interview. James, you really are a gem.

Wonderful interview!!

Gotta love Dr Hollis. I've seen the biggest James Hollis collection on Jung Platform!
one of the most authentic perons i heard speak. in awe

Why not soothe yourself?
Keep going my friend
Love James Hollis, thank you!

Great discussion and loved it !! Would look forward to listening to deep discussion on integrating into daily life . Thank you ❤
Loved it

@@wisetalkmedia Yes I totally agree best of both worlds is a great solution
Im caring for my clients health as a therapist and pursuing acting, modeling gigs.
I dont need shadow work.
So, you are a therapist but you do acting?😊
A brilliant conversation with a unique dr . Strange creatures called men ‘ 😅

We all need shadow work
“Narcissist”… the new word when someone tells you what you don’t want to hear
James or Dr Hollis?????????
What is everyone else’s understanding of “how” to integrate the shadow?
We just “grow out” of it?
Understand what the shadow makes you do, and keeps you from doing, and then you have the recipe for growth.
Please invite Neil Theise Complexity Theory in a conversation with Bernardo Kastro Complexity describes exactly how nature works.. And.
Niel Thise's coming on in the next series
What would you like me to ask him?
