“The warrior archetype is a strong, powerful, masculine archetype. He’s a great archetype for just getting shit done!”
Archetypes are universal, inborn personality traits that have been referenced throughout human history.
They were introduced to the field of psychology by Carl Jung, who identified twelve major archetypes, but also believed there was an infinite number of potential archetypes that could exist.
An example of a masculine archetype is ‘The Warrior’ archetype, which is particularly useful when you need to take action.
In this interview, Nic Tovey explains why the warrior archetype is so powerful and how you can access your inner warrior.
