This week's show is with Rod Boothroyd. Rod brings more than two decades' experience of working with men and women to his current work as a Healing The Shadow practitioner.

Rod's career in the area of human potential started with his training in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy at the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy in 1999. Since then he has taken further training in Integrative Psychotherapy, worked with the ManKind Project UK and Ireland (where he was a Primary Integration Training leader), and researched in depth the art of working with, and reintegrating, the human shadow. He is now working as a one-to-one coach and therapist, and is also a supervisor with Healing The Shadow, an organisation devoted to emotional healing and the development of human potential.

In this show, Rod and Lian explore the profound themes of archetypes and leadership.

Rod shares his own journey into archetypal work began after a midlife crisis, the impact of the Mankind Project, and the significance of the four archetypes: the King or heart-centered leader, the Warrior or action taker, the Magician, and the Lover.

They discuss the universal nature of these archetypes, their relevance to both men and women, and how to harness their power on the journey of healing and embodying one's true self.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• These four archetypes are universal, and go beyond gender or culture, you don't have to use the tradition names if different names resonate more deeply for you

• These archetypes can be intuitively felt and understood when we are ready and open to them.

• The four archetypes provide a framework for self-illumination, healing, and growth, in a way that goes beyond a theoretical understanding of them - it could even be described as magical!
