psychological symbolism

In the Psycheverse

Psyche uses mythological narratives—particularly Hindu mythology—as psychological case studies, reading figures like Daksha not as gods but as portraits of human consciousness. Pride, obsession with control, and the ego's resistance to humility become the real drama, with symbolic punishments (beheading, animal transformation) marking the psyche's forced reorganization when it refuses to evolve.
