SOME THOUGHTS AND SUGGESTIONS
Marriage and Partnership
1. Begin the process of self-discovery in earnest. The emergence of the energies of the uncompleted Self at midlifeâespecially the shadow and the anima/animusârequires understanding our own projections on our partner or spouse. In order to do so, we must first understand our inner life and the archetypal energies and complexes that operate as autonomous or âsubâpersonalities. Learn about these aspects of yourself by creating a dialogue with your inner self (the following chapter explains more about this process of âActive Imaginationâ). Talk to it, write it a letter, sculpt it, draw it, reflect or meditate on it. Learn to recognize these inner energies in the symbols of your dreams (I will explain how to do this in greater detail in the following chapter). I realize that it may sound strange to hear a psychologist urging you to talk to yourself, instead of thinking you are odd because you do. Nevertheless, real inner work requires an active relationship with the unconscious parts of the psyche, for this is how they become conscious.
