ADHD Wild Women: Episode 7: The Heroine's Journey

After a period of several months of hiatus, ADHD Wild Women is back, with a new year/new journey. This episode delves into the importance of myth and archetype, the stories we tell about ourselves, and how this Jungian (mythic and folkloric focused) approach can be used consciously to heal the collective wound found in the unconscious of a burned out, disillusioned postmodern feminine psyche. Host Kat also looks at the way in which many woman have been drawn to pursue the individualism and competition found in the contemporary dominating male Hero's Journey, before putting forward a case that true freedom and the wild sacred way is more likely to be found in Maureen Murdock's counterpoint: The Heroine's Journey. The episode explores why these dominating myths can be particularly damaging to women with ADHD, and most importantly what we can do about it.
