Collective Shadow, Woundedness, and Meaning with Tony Caldwell

In “Collective Shadow, Woundedness, and Meaning,” Dr. Sheri Kling speaks with Jungian analyst Tony Caldwell. In the first half, Tony and Sheri dig into • collective shadow in the United States • place, race, ideologies, and personal mythologies • the psychic energy held in the personal shadow • libido, creativity, and the drive to life and generativity • Jungian analysis, including transference and counter-transference • the developmental approach within Jungian thought; and • complexes. In the second half – available only to paid subscribers on Substack – they discuss • meaning making • identity • self-parenting/self-narrative, and • seeing the Sacred in our wounds and in our unexpressed potentials. * Did this resonate with you?

MY STORY: My name is Dr. Sheri Kling, and I’m interested in helping you discover a whole-making Sacred in your own sacred life. I’ve spent my life walking the journey I teach. It’s been a path shaped by deep questions, hard-won insights, and moments of grace that awakened me to new, life-giving images of the sacred. These shifts didn’t just change my thinking—they gave me the strength to face profound adversity and the joy of finally feeling at home in my own life and body. Whether you’re seeking personal healing, professional clarity, or a more meaningful spiritual path, I offer grounded, heart-centered tools to help you thrive—and to remind you that wholeness is not just possible, it’s your birthright.
