Hero’s Journey – Hero’s AdventureUniversal theme…Prevalent in literature throughout time We often lose sight of wisdom that was recognized by other culturesCall: comes from within or without – some wouldn’t choose to go but someone with a wiser, more mature perspective sends them outOften resistance to the call – wilderness breaks down barriers of resistance and call is accepted and cross the threshold - culture at large often pulls us back from choosing our own call…enabling society…don’t want children to suffer or be uncomfortableAdventure: confronting demons and fear…..find helpers and learn we are not alone…staff, other students, therapist …..recognize strengths…..catch a glimpse of something more as they tap into mystery…..receive gifts or discover strengths and gifts….develop self-efficacy and start to share the gifts.Return: as difficult or more difficult than call…..end one journey and start another one…both parents and client need to prepare for this process.Plan in place for return well in advance
