Jung agreed to see a woman who had 'incurable' insomnia that had resisted all previous treatment. In her presence, he found himself remembering a lullaby his mother had crooned to him in childhood. He started humming it aloud.

The song was about a girl on a little boat on a river, full of gleaming fish. It evokes the rhythms of wind and water. Jung’s patient was enchanted. From that night on, her insomnia was gone. Her regular doctor wanted to know Jung’s secret.

“How was I to explain to him that I had simply listened to something within myself?," Jung reminisced, late in life, in the presence of his assistant Aniela Jaffe. "I had been quite at sea. How was I to tell him that I had sung her a lullaby with my mother’s voice? Enchantment like that is the oldest form of medicine.”

So often, a person's problems are individualized and pathologized...

But, what if the origin of an individual's struggle lies not within themself but in a mismatch between temperment and environment?

What if the source of the difficulty is not an personal defect but an unsuitable ecology?

Well, then a very different story emerges.

There is nothing inherently wrong with the person.

They just need to find their natural habitat.
