Dr. Orna Guralnik speaking about how diving into the unconscious connects you with the collective unconscious ("Couples Therapy" S04E09)
"You will cringe at somebody that you want to be like because deep down you're scared of being that thing. So the safer thing to do is to cringe at them instead of admitting you want to be like them. It's safer to cringe at the loving, happy, blissful, creative, expressive, sad, angry, hurt, spiritual person than it is to admit that you're those things, but you're scared of them. That's why one of the greatest spiritual practices is to become your own cringe." —Thomas Ohehir [x]
