[12] Overwhelmed_ - Jung at Harp 12 - 200313

Tune in for a soulful exploration of overwhelm, artistic integration, and creative resilience! What does it mean to be overwhelmed — and how can we move through it in ways that reconnect us with our creative, emotional, and spiritual selves? In this episode of Jung at Harp, Deborah Henson-Conant and Jungian analyst Kathleen Wiley dive into the experience of overwhelm, and how it often signals a disconnection from our larger self. Together, they explore how the Strings of Passion framework — Impulse, Structure, Character, Roles, Practices, Deconstruction, and Lift-Off — can help us move from scattered chaos to integrated expression. Through personal stories, artistic metaphors, and practical tools (like schematics, mandalas, and splotch drawings!), they show how you can transform overwhelm into a creative opportunity. Whether you're a harpist, artist, or simply human, this episode offers a profound perspective on how to play — literally and metaphorically — with life's chaos.
