As a psychotherapist who has worked in the field for over 24 years now, I would love to tell you about the beautiful concept of the psyche (should you be interested). I will offer this to you in stages:

If you are interested, please follow my posts to enrich your depth of understanding of the psyche. It is such an important force that has such influence upon us (i.e. over our emotions, behaviours, conscience, self-esteem, confidence).

Firstly though, for fun, let's begin with Greek mythology and its characterization of "Psyche".

What is the power of "Psyche"in Greek mythology?

After becoming the goddess of the soul, Psyche gained divine powers, but myths do not detail specific abilities like those of Zeus or Athena. However, given her role, she is associated with: Understanding human emotions – As the goddess of the soul, she represents deep emotions and self-awareness.

What a great beginning to our reflections on the concept of the psyche.

"The only joy is to begin"". Cesare Pavare

How rare and courageous "beginning" actually is...

To begin something often means stepping into the unknown. It takes vulnerability, hope, even a little defiance. You’re choosing movement over stasis, potential over certainty. It’s like joy arises not because it’s easy to begin—but because it’s difficult and you do it anyway. There’s a thrill in crossing that threshold, even if the path ahead is unclear.

So more than celebrating beginnings—it’s quietly honouring the inner work it takes to make one. The gathering of will, the letting go of comfort, the quiet rebellion against inertia.

It makes me wonder—do you have a beginning in mind? Or is there one that you’ve been circling around?
