Epi 23: “The Rebel Clinician Archetypes: Discover Your Unique Healing Style”
In this week's episode of The Rebel Clinicians Podcast, airing May 19, co-hosts Alex Runolfson and John Cottrell are pulling back the curtain on the powerful world of archetypes--those timeless patterns of behavior, personality, and purpose that show up in both our personal lives and professional practices. From Carl Jung's classic 12 archetypes to The Rebel Clinician's own expanded framework, Alex and John unpack how these themes can help therapists, healers, and coaches better understand themselves and their clients.
You'll meet the Rebel, Shaman, Alchemist, Creator, Mystic, and more--each one offering unique strengths, challenges, and approaches to healing. Whether you're guiding someone through trauma, launching a creative project, or stepping into leadership, there's an archetype to support your journey.
Alex shares how these identities shape his work as a trauma therapist and visionary, while John reflects on his path as a yoga teacher, caregiver, and creator. Together, they explore how recognizing your core archetype--and the ones that lie in the background--can transform the way you show up in your work, relationships, and inner life.
