Emotional Cartographer

You know exactly where you are. Still not sure how to leave.

Emotional Cartographer is maps every feeling with precision, still gets lost. You have an extraordinary ability to chart emotional territory — your own and others'.

You can name what's happening, trace how it got there, and sketch where it might go. What you sometimes find is that the map and the territory are different things, and the map, however accurate, doesn't protect you from being in the middle of it.

Archetype concept rooted in Jungian psychology and adapted for daily identity expression.
