GIFT Family Services can provide each family member with an Archetypal Profile.
An “Archetype,” as defined by Carl Jung, is a “universal and recurring image, pattern, or motif representing a typical human experience.” It is a pattern and behavior that is part of our psyche as well as our social systems.
Archetypes are the “architects” of our life. They influence every aspect of “who we are” and influence the basic choices that we make.
Archetypal patterns are neutral until we give them meaning through our experience. This meaning can reflect within us as either positive or negative depending on our perception within our world.
According to the studies of Carolyn Myss, a renowned teacher and author, there are twelve archetypes that have had a direct influence on each individual since birth. Although four are primary and universal to everyone, eight are not. Rather, they are specific to each individual based on their experience and make-up.
