Tired, unmotivated, depleted? This is how to face your inner Vampire
🫦 Some monsters don't leap out from the shadows. Instead, they smile, charm… and then slowly drain the life from you. In this episode of Menaces of the Mind, Betwixt's Hazel Gale sinks her teeth into one of the most alluring and insidious archetypes of all time: the Vampire. Psychologically, vampiric parts of the personality can be seen as split-off aspects of the Self that feed on us from the shadows, leaving us feeling lethargic, unmotivated… bloodless. Let's explore how this ancient creature of the night can help us spot the hidden ways our energy is being drained, and how to reclaim the vitality we've lost. Topics: 🌒 Vampires throughout history 🌒 The vampiric self – split-off parts of the personality that drain our life away from within 🌒 The vampiric other – why we're drawn to parasitic relationships 🌒 The archetypal Vampire as a tool for self-acceptance and healing Thumbnail image credit: Elsa Lancaster, The Bride of Frankenstein, by Basil Gogos References: 🔹 Jung, Carl.
