Who Are You Before the World Told You?
Reclaiming the Forgotten Self Through Archetype Awareness
You weren’t born afraid to be yourself. The real you wasn’t curated, filtered, branded, or optimized for likes. That self—the one underneath the masks—never actually left. It was buried.
In Jungian psychology, our early life experiences begin shaping what Jung called the Persona—the mask we wear to survive. Over time, this mask replaces our essence. Careers. Family roles. Social feeds. Performance identities. All of them become more real than the person we started as.
The Archetype You Forgot You Were Living
Inside all of us lives a pattern—an unconscious myth that guides our decisions. The Mother. The Warrior. The Victim. The Seeker. But most of us never choose these roles consciously. They’re assigned by environment, media, or trauma. We live them blindly, not realizing we’ve internalized someone else's narrative.
