You have a wonderful way with words, Natasha. I particularly liked the marrow metaphor.

I like Jung. I equate steps 4, 5, 8, 9 and 10 of 12-step programs with shadow work (see second half of my https://medium.com/p/ff45cb53eaf2 if interested). Jung is mentioned in the "Big Book" and much his thoughts can be seen as influences in the creation of 12-step programs. https://www.karnacbooks.com/product/carl-jung-and-alcoholics-anonymous-the-twelve-steps-as-a-spiritual-journey-of-individuation/37161/#:~:text='Carl%20Jung's%20serendipitous%20role%20in,has%20never%20been%20fully%20told.

I am also drawn to Jung because of his metaphysical leanings, especially with regard to synchronicities, which he defined as meaningful coincidences https://medium.com/p/41893e2e55ed and https://medium.com/promptly-written/spiritual-prompt-for-the-week-of-april-17th-23rd-34b34b26fd6b
