I’ve been meaning to write about Kalsched’s work and the self care system. It has been very impactful for me and I’ve drawn a lot of meaning and insight from both books.

His exploration of the Rapunzel fairy tale influenced my post on IFS and complexes.

Glad to hear you enjoyed that piece. There are many other persecutory figures and images that come up, but the spider has truly been there since the early days. With the insight I've spoken to on this post, I am attempting to quell my resistance and see if the spider may have some insight or resources that I've been out of touch with. I'm curious to see where that goes!

Are there any particular areas of interest with Kalsched's work that you'd like to see some writing on?
