- Maps portray outer situations, but they’re made by humans so they also portray and amplify our inner states.
- Maps always orient us.
- It is not possible to draw a map without a story. In a map, place, time and story are together.
- If we didn’t have the capacity to make connections and put ourselves into story — personal, collective, mythological — we could not have Jungian analysis.
- Both maps and stories come from memory and preserve memory. They also simultaneously invite the future.
- Memory that is both explicit and implicit in maps holds the same place in analysis.
- A [[complex]] can be thought of as an inner map. Margaret Klenck gave the example of a woman who treated her family system as her cosmos. She projected out to the world that everyone would respond to her the way her family members did.
- “In [[analysis]], the analyst points out patterns, mapping seemingly random points of the psyche to provide a new orientation to time and space.”
- “An analytic session always covers a new piece of an analysand’s maps.”
- “Dreams map the movement of the ego complex through the landscape of the psyche.”
