This series of three articles explores what we can learn from fairy tales about the effects of growing up with a narcissistic or codependent parent and how one can break this cycle of intergenerational trauma and splitting.
Mary’s Child, Snow White, The Little Mermaid and The Frog King all provide clues and amplification.
Special attention is given to the dynamics of love bombing, isolating, and gaslighting, and the trap of carrying someone else’s shadow. It is also shown how narcissistic abuse often stays unrecognized and hidden: to the person at the receiving end of it as well as their community.

As a complement to C.G. Jung’s theory of the psychological functions (thinking, feeling, sensation, intuition), Wolff developed an innovative theory of the feminine psyche. One path to individuation is integrating all four structural forms or types.
Doing this work brings wholeness and a full life, and it provides some protection against the shadow possibilities of each archetype. This is equally true for women and men, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

The archetypal forces that are active deep within our unconscious call for expression, somehow, whether we ask for it or not, and whether we want it or not. We don’t know in what form their call will come, nor to what purpose, but they will find a way into our conscious outer life. Our ego is instrumental in reducing the raw power of these archetypal forces.
