EP07: Exploring Control and the Necessary Hero Archetype in the Wounded Child

Your Frequency Shift

The archetype of the Necessary Hero is a powerful and universal symbol that strikes a chord with those who have faced trauma or adversity in their early lives. It's a heroic figure that we don't often see portrayed in popular media, for it's not about a hero who willingly steps forward to fight for good. Instead, it's about someone who is forced to bear the burden of the world while struggling with the scars of a turbulent childhood and unmet needs But what if that wounded child is also the necessary hero that can lead us to our greatest potential?
It started with a conversation talking about a pattern with our clients who feel trapped by the need to control everything and are unable to switch off and connect, the Necessary Hero archetype emerges, shining a light on the path towards healing and wholeness.
The Necessary Hero doesn't want to give themselves away, yet they don't know any other way to be loved. They prioritize the happiness of their loved ones above their own and carry the weight of the world to prove the worthiness of the love around them. It's not a healthy way to live, for we must honour ourselves as much as we honour others. To begin this journey, the Necessary Hero must first acknowledge how and why they sell themselves out, and then take mindful and intentional steps to re-align with their core needs and values.

Our anxious responses are not just physiological reactions; they are messengers of something deeper. In such cases, a holistic approach that targets the root cause of stress and depression, especially if they stem from inner child wounds, is necessary for healing.

Join us in an intimate conversation as we explore how this archetype is triggered, and gain insights into the modalities that can initiate the healing process and bring about a shift in perspective.
