Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is a 4 page paper with an example of an individual with the dominant traits of Carol S. Pearson’s “Innocent” archetype. Carol S. Pearson’s text “Awakening the Heroes Within: Twelve Archetypes to Help Us Find Ourselves and Transform Our World” (1991) discusses the parallels of human psychiatric development with three stages of a hero’s journey: “preparation, journey, return” in that “we first develop the Ego, then encounter the Soul, and finally give birth to a unique sense of Self”. The stages for this transformation of the soul each have a series of developmental archetypes through which individuals journey or mature. Stage 1 includes the archetypes to strengthen the ego and include: “The Innocent” who is a hero of trust and optimism; “The Orphan” one of compassion; “The Caregiver” of social responsibility; and, “The Warrior” of strategy, discipline and boundaries. There are additional archetypes which relate to the awakening of the Soul and the eventual transforming of Self as well but in some cases individuals can exhibit dominant traits of one particular archetype.

"The Caregiver" of social responsibility; and, "The Warrior" of strategy, discipline and boundaries. There are additional archetypes which relate to the awakening of the Soul and the eventual transforming of
Self as well but in some cases individuals can exhibit dominant traits of one particular archetype (Pearson; Toneguzzi). "The Innocent" according to Pearson
is "the part of us that trusts life, ourselves, and other people" and is "that part that has faith and hope, even when on the surface things look impossible" (Pearson
71). This first archetype of The Innocent is meant as a basis from which individuals can mature and to which individuals can return if they seek the safety they felt
as children within their family homes. Pearson writes that "children who have been loved and cared for have a wonderful faith that the world is a safe place for them
and they can count on others to give them the physical, intellectual, and emotional support and help they need to grow and mature" (Pearson 72). While this stage is intended
to be meant as a starting point in maturity, there is a shadow side in Innocence which can occur throughout adulthood with a typical example being the return of my
