Dance of the Selves: Uniting the Male and Female within by Loretta Ferrier
A guide to understanding how the dynamic pairing of the intuitive and logical selves can unleash greater creativity and happiness. Using examples drawn from her own practice, Dr Ferrier provides the essential key to happiness and success - the perfect balance of common sense, deductive reasoning and intuition. Each person harbours two different personalities: the intuitive/feminine self and the logical/masculine self. In this book, Dr Ferrier delineates 14 inner "males" ranging from Attila the Hun and Peter Pan to the Wimp, which exist, often in uneasy proximity to each other, with such female aspects as the Amazon, the Seductress, Miss Sugar and Spice and 12 other archetypes. After helping readers discover both their masculine and feminine personality type, Dr Ferrier offers advice on bringing them into harmony. She describes how to stage internal conversations, provides simple exercises that aid understanding and growth, and explains how to develop styles of behaviour that strengthen the weaker partner.
