  • The ‘Shadow Self’

• Understanding how unconscious patterns and conflicts might influence clients’ decisions or behaviours.
• Noticing how the id, ego and superego dynamics might show up in a client’s self-talk, goals, or struggles.
• Identifying how defence mechanisms may play a role in client resistance or self-sabotaging behaviours.
• Thinking about how universal archetypes (e.g., hero, caregiver) influence individual narratives.
