Unveiling Every Saint has a Past: A Journey Through the 21st Century Psyche

At the Wilfred Hazelwood Clinic, we're thrilled to announce an exciting new publication from our esteemed lead therapist and psychological astrologer, Martyn J. Shrewsbury. His forthcoming book, "Every Saint has a Past: Musings on the Modern Psyche," promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of life in the 21st century, viewed through the lenses of Jungian psychology, cultural analysis, and astrological wisdom.

A Glimpse into "Every Saint has a Past"

Martyn's new book is a tapestry of insights, weaving together the threads of human experience in our complex, fast-paced modern world. It's a collection of musings that delve into the thoughts, emotions, observations, and ironies that define life in the 21st century.

As Martyn often says, "In the digital age, we're more connected than ever, yet many feel profoundly disconnected from themselves and others. 'Every Saint has a Past' is my attempt to bridge that gap."

What Readers Can Expect

Jungian Insights: The book draws heavily on Carl Jung's theories, exploring how archetypes and the collective unconscious manifest in our digital world.
Astrological Perspectives: Martyn applies his expertise in psychological astrology to shed light on the cosmic rhythms influencing our collective psyche.
Cultural Commentary: From social media to global politics, the book examines how cultural phenomena shape our inner worlds.
Personal Anecdotes: Martyn shares poignant, sometimes humorous, stories from his years of practice, illustrating the universal in the personal.
Practical Wisdom: Each chapter concludes with reflections and exercises to help readers apply insights to their own lives.

Themes Explored

"Every Saint has a Past" tackles a wide range of themes relevant to modern life:

The Shadow of Technology: How our digital lives affect our psyche and relationships.
Modern Myths and Archetypes: Exploring new cultural heroes and villains.
The Quest for Authenticity: Navigating self-expression in the age of curated online personas.

A Teaser from the Author

In Martyn's own words:

"Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. This old adage captures the essence of the human journey - a path of growth, transformation, and sometimes, contradiction. In our 21st-century lives, we're writing our stories in real-time, publicly, often before we've had the chance to fully live them.

This book is an invitation to pause, to reflect, and to dive deeper. It's about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, the universal in the personal, and the timeless in the timely. Through the lenses of Jungian psychology, astrology, and cultural observation, we'll explore the comedy and tragedy of being human in a world that often feels like it's spinning too fast.

From the astrology of social media trends to the archetypes lurking in our favorite Netflix series, from the collective shadows revealed in global events to the personal myths we're writing with every swipe and click - 'Every Saint has a Past' is a guidebook for the perplexed, a comfort for the overwhelmed, and a call to adventure for anyone seeking deeper meaning in our often chaotic world."
