Description
Our human psyches possess astonishing resources that wait within us, but we might not even know they exist until we discover how to access them and cultivate their powers. Wild Mind identifies these resources, which Bill Plotkin calls the four facets of the Self, or the four dimensions of our innate human wholeness. These four facets are fragmented or wounded subpersonalities that form during childhood, which can lead to psychological symptoms, addictions, and trauma. Rather than proposing ways to eliminate or suppress these subpersonalities, Plotkin describes how to cultivate the four facets of the Self and discover the gifts of our subpersonalities. By fully embodying our multifaceted wild minds, we can commit ourselves to the largest, soul-infused story we're capable of living, and serve the greater Earth community. This approach offers a new way to reclaim our original wholeness and live a more authentic, wholehearted life.
