Practically Awake
Welcome! I’m Jaclyn Proper, a Jungian Depth Coach, Educator, Explorer, Underworld Doula, Artist & human doing my best on Earth. This channel is about what it means to be an explorer of shadow and self. We dive into shadow work, eroticism, spiritual psychology, kink, neurodivergence, sexuality, travel, and authentic living through the lens of my personal journey and Jungian psychology. If you’re an unconventional soul, queer, kinky, neurospicy, or simply shadow-curious, you’ll find lighthearted yet no-nonsense conversations here to help you embrace your edges, and uncover the truth of who you are.
Practically Awake
How Your Mother Shapes Your Intimacy Patterns (& How to Rewire Them)
Unlock the truth about your relationship with your mother—and how it’s still shaping your nervous system, attachment style, and romantic life. In this episode, we explore the Mother Archetype through a Jungian lens, including the wounded forms like the Devouring Mother and Possessive Mother, and how these patterns affect intimacy, emotional safety, and your inner world.
I break down:
How your nervous system is wired in utero by your mother’s regulation (or dysregulation)
Why epigenetic trauma from your maternal lineage may still be running the show
How a mother wound can lead to avoidance, people-pleasing, or relationship sabotage
The difference between the Earth Mother and the Divine Mother archetype
A powerful guided active imagination to meet and transform your inner mother
This episode ends with an active imagination visualization to help you connect to the Divine Mother within, rewire your relationship to feminine presence, and reclaim self-nurturance, sovereignty, and emotional resilience.
