Often, we hear about grieving our mistakes, failures, losses and imperfections, but rarely do we learn how to mine them for their richness. Because human beings are naturally broken \u2013 with personalities that are largely unconscious, reactive and hard to manage \u2013 we have countless opportunities in our relationships and work to see our selves in the cracks of the mirror.&nbsp;This presentation will draw on Carl Jung\u2019s psychology of individuation and on the Buddha\u2019s teachings on awakening to offer a new vision of imperfection with its inherent openings to compassion and love.&nbsp; <\/p><p>PowerPoint slides used in the talk are available <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"HERE (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/podcast\/attachments\/Jungianthology-45-Young-Eisendrath-PowerPoint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a><\/p><p>A note about sound: There were microphone issues that were resolved after a few minutes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Young-Eisendrath-Peony296x300.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Young-Eisendrath-Peony296x300-247x250.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2015\" width=\"162\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Young-Eisendrath-Peony296x300-247x250.jpg 247w, https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Young-Eisendrath-Peony296x300-148x150.jpg 148w, https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Young-Eisendrath-Peony296x300-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Young-Eisendrath-Peony296x300-64x65.jpg 64w, https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Young-Eisendrath-Peony296x300.jpg 296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 162px) 100vw, 162px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Polly Young-Eisendrath, PhD<\/strong>&nbsp;is Clinical Associate Professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont Medical College.
