Three Archetypes You’re Likely to Meet as a Mother
Carl Jung coined the term “archetype” to refer to innate patterns of human experience. Images of such patterns can be found in myths, fairy tales, and other ancient stories.

It confronts us with a range of emotions that we might not encounter elsewhere in our lives.
