Practically Awake

Political Anxiety, Tribalism & Your Unconscious Mind | A Jungian Perspective w/ Chuck Gafvert

Jaclyn Proper Season 1 Episode 29

How is political stress affecting your relationships, mental health, and overall well-being? In this episode, Jungian coach Chuck Gafvert joins me to dive deep into political polarization, projection, tribalism, and the hidden psychological triggers behind political stress.

📍 How does political identity become an unconscious projection of deeper wounds?
📍 What does Trump—or any political figure—reveal about our collective and personal shadows?
📍 How can shadow work help you find peace no matter who’s in power?
📍 Why do people idolize political leaders like saviors—and how does this relate to childhood attachment?

Chuck also opens up about his personal shadow work journey, breaking toxic relationship cycles, and reclaiming personal power. We even do a live shadow work session on my deepest fears about control, autonomy, and the state of the world.
If you’re feeling stressed, triggered, or overwhelmed by politics, this conversation is for you. Learn how to navigate to
day’s divisive world with self-awareness, resilience, and inner peace.
