Thesis: Archetypal Reparenting: Constellating Archetypal Parental Figures to Reparent the Self
Grounded in the Jungian concept of archetypes and the unconscious, as well as attachment theory, this thesis explores how primary archetypes such as the Great Mother and Great Father can be a significant intrapsychic resource to facilitate repair of early attachment wounds. Using a heuristic method, the study investigates the archetypal motifs of fathering and mothering as potential positive presences within the psyche. It explores how archetypal parents can be constellated as intrapsychic resources to aid adults suffering from childhood attachment wounds in reparenting themselves. The research examines how reparenting drawing on constellated archetypal parental figures can support a shift from insecure to secure attachment. The findings suggest how constellating the archetypes of the Great Mother and Great Father through imaginal modalities can help remediate attachment wounding and rebuild a positive internal working model and a stable, cohesive sense of self.
