When we are employed, we are distracted. Unresolved issues fester in the psyche and unconscious. When we retire, the lock to the vault comes off, and all the detritus comes flying out, like spirits on Halloween. This us ripe for Jungian analysis. It can take a long time to parse through years of supressed anger, anxiety, trauma.
It's taken me 8 years. Painful at times but worth it. 🙂

Agree about retirement.
My "cesspool" of unresolved trauma, etc. bubbles up at 5 am every morning. I have consulted with a Jungian dreamwork therapist, an "energy healer", two psychiatrists, and 4 years of conversation with a traditional therapist. But every morning still "stinks".
