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".

Outside "help" did not work for me. Usually made it worse because they were all practicing their craft, and I was just an object for them to practice their craft on.
I got real quiet (proper and hard but enjoyable Zen Med) and allowed the cesspool to drain (painful, but not-too-dramatic supportive spouse helped). I read Jung (didn't understand all of it right away). Went to Jung lectures. Read D.T. Suzuki, Abe Maslow, Ashley Montague, and Alan Watts.
Mostly "noticed" the outflow of sewage without swimming in it, until it drained, leaving the Original Face (nashama) to carry on.
I am happy to tell you more, if you like.🙂
