Ugh, this speaks to me so much! It’s not about helping people, or needing help. It’s about being perpetually helpless, and never stepping into your own power and taking the reigns of your own life. I come from a family of damsels. It was one generation after another of women who used marriage to escape a bad family situation. They went from the frying pan to the fire one after the other. They just clung to their “white knight,” even though he wasn’t necessarily a saint. They were actually terrified of not only their independence, but the possible independence of their daughters. They didn’t want this system to change, even though it led to a horrible life. They honestly believed that taking responsibility for their own life would be so much worse, and if they failed, there wouldn’t be anyone to take care of them. When I was a child I loved the story of Thumbelina. As an adult, she seems like a perpetual victim, always being saved from a terrible marriage arrangement by someone who pitied her. This makes me see it in a different light, because in the end, she was saved by someone she had saved, and taken to a place where she could thrive, and wouldn’t need to be saved anymore. Sometimes we need to leave certain things behind, whether it’s a belief system or a way of life, in order to get to a place where we can save ourselves. There are parts of society who want women to be helpless, and they tell people it makes a stronger society, but they know that isn’t true. These are people who want the appearance of perfect, without having to deal with the dark underbelly of that kind of thinking.

Thanks dear Caroline for being the teacher that you are. More than ten years ago I was in your one day workshop in London, you looked at me and asked if I had a knight in my life. I told you 'maybe.' Well, I am still with that knight but our relationship has shifted in a positive way - we both began to realize the time for the 'Damsel and Knight' archetypal pattern has to become different, and we are the one that can change this pattern, by changing ourselves. It has been a hell of a journey, but so worthy! And yes I am saying more yes to the Queen than the Damsel in Distress. She still shows up once in a blue moon but I am loving her into maturity. 🙏

Thank you for sharing that - it's a reminder that we can grow into the archetype of the Queen and step into our own power. A couple of years ago, I suddenly realised that most men just want to please their woman, so they really want to know what she wants. I grew up being deeply indoctrinated with my mother's indoctrinated perspective that men should have all the power, whether or not they really wanted to lead! There was a point in my marriage a number of years ago when I was reflecting on the messy aspects of my parents' relationship and where those issues arose from - mostly from my mother expecting to just hitch her wagon to my father and be drawn by him toward all her dreams and desires. She had no appreciation of whether or not that suited him or of his own values, beliefs, dreams, etc. It came to me like a bolt of lightning: If I want what I want out of life, I need to take responsibility for my own experience and make it happen. I didn't want to replicate my parents' relationship or be like my mother. Interestingly, and tellingly, when I shared my insights with my husband, he immediately replied, "Doesn't that mean you won't need me any more?" I replied, "Isn't it better to be with you because I WANT to be, and not because I NEED to be?" I realised he kept wanting to play the "knight in shining armour" riding in to rescue me when I really didn't want to be rescued. Unfortunately he wasn't able to appreciate this, and he didn't respect or support my individuality or needs, so we separated in 1996. Also interesting and relevant to this archetypal discussion, I continued in the relationship for 3 years in which we were both actually quite miserable but no one wanted to step up and address the elephant in the room. I was very frightened about whether or not I could look after myself and my daughter financially, but then after some more work on personal development, I realised I didn't have to create it that way, and also I didn't have to figure out the whole thing in that moment - just the next step. I went on to later have an intense personal crisis in which I found myself with just $24 in my bank account, no work and a young daughter to care for. At first I was terrified, but after a couple of days and a lot of contemplation, I realised that this experience was an immense gift. I learned that I was much more resilient and resourceful than I had imagined, and there was a LOT of help out there just waiting for me to be humble enough to ask for it. I also learned that I don't have to "settle" for situations (work, relationships, etc) that don't work for me just because I am afraid of the unknown beyond it. I learned to live more fully in the present, and that the opportunities and solutions are to be found in being present in the moment. My task is simply to take the next step and stay present as it unfolds and reveals itself. This is what @CarolineMyss means about stepping into our mysteries as we grow spiritually!

I think this is a very powerful archetype because even though I tried not to fall into the trap of believing all the romantic stories where the woman is “rescued“, I found myself wishing for that in my life even though I had always taken care of myself, even as a child. It’s difficult to eliminate. It’s almost as if it’s a weed growing inside me. I agree with you that it comes from a patriarchal worldview and I remember when I was a child there were old movies I saw where the man would say, “don’t worry your pretty little head about it.“ We thought nothing of that at the time. I never had any money until I married my husband in my mid-40s and the first thing he did was sit me down and teach me all about finances and then he let me handle them from then on so that I would know how to do it if he passed, which he did. He was such a treasure. But even the love of my life couldn’t “save” me; it turns out you do have to save yourself. Thank you for these videos! 💕💕

My mother is a "princess" damsel. I do believe that archetype is making its way out. Being raised by a "Damsel/ Princess" was very hard as all of her kids (5 in total) have been burnt out by this archetype's unending neediness. I cannot fathom ever using that archetype in my life. When I asked my mother for any female wisdom she could share with me, her answer was "play dumb". I remember thinking how sad that is for all the women who came before us who had to play dumb or be a damsel in order to address power dynamics in those days. Thank You Caroline, for sharing your wisdom on this. I am more open to having a softer perception of this archetype after listening to your experience of being the damsel at one moment in your life.

It kept her safe. Recovering from cancer, feeling vulnerable living offgrid and in a foreign country i did, i dropped into it when a powerful man entered my life and i forgot who i was. He was all consuming. Now recovering and reclaiming myself as queen. Funny enough I got the castle 😅 Such learning 😂🙈

I think that the path to maturity for the "damsel" is through an encounter with the "natural predator". It's the Bluebeard story.

I've identified with the damsel, even claimed it as one of mine, but after listening to this I have never been a damsel in the way of being helpless! What I meant when I said I had the damsel was about a softness and hyper femininity. Strong, but so very yin. What archetype has those qualities? I'm no maiden. It's like an Aphrodite Quan Yin energy. It was the love of hot baths, silk dresses and bold adornments that I was trying to name, an old fashioned way of being soft and coy with men. I called it damsel, but I meant like a lady. There was no helplessness. But definitely an old femininity. Softness. Delicate. Calm. Demure. Alluring.

I loved it that you didn't stick to the damsel as the immature female archetype but that you mentioned the knight as the immature masculine counterpart! I studied literature so I know them very well. But no Guinevere was no damsel, she was a queen. A queen belongs to a king and Lancelot was only a knight, as much in title as in behavior. He shut his mouth and prioritized loyalty to the king over loyalty to his heart. I have come to observe that he was the most immature in the triangle and caused the drama as we know it. A queen cannot choose when the choice is not there. Tristan and Isolde, that's a true damsel and knight story. And it ends in disaster because nobody has the maturity to stand up for their own truth and bows for the authority of the king. Anyway, immaturity and submission to patriarchal authority is the key word in any of these stories. With all this focus on the inner marriage of the king and queen, aka the masculine and feminine energies within, I couldn't agree more that these archetypes are slowly fading out as active members of our collective consciousness. Thank you so much for this week's video, so inspiring! 🙏👸🤴

Caroline, in a workshop you had mentioned a damsel/princess doesn't become a queen; a queen and damsel clash (eg. HM Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana). I still take to this archetypal pattern/way of looking at it as a more accurate representation. It's like how the child archetype doesn't become an adult archetype, even though it is through that archetype that we learn to adopt and develop a strong enough sense of self responsibility. A damsel's shadow side is the damsel in distress, the helpless damsel we know in every single Disney story. Her light side is breaking through the illusions of being trapped and finding solutions - a bit Mulan style maybe? Through this in my experience at least, I've found to create solutions that were much greater than if I had not felt helplessly trapped. A queen's shadow side is like Marie Antoinette or the Queen of Hearts - negligence to tending to and stewarding the great level of power she holds in her position. In the light it is being able to carry a nation, like HM Queen Elizabeth. When HM Queen Elizabeth was crowned queen at 27, she was not a damsel waiting to become a queen. She was a queen, and she could have reflected a shadow queen (potentially the time everyone was upset with how she handled Diana's death) or the queen in the light. Similarly, Princess Diana was always a princess, and she reflected both sides - her light was when she could express openly and publicly and poignantly her emotions, which made (at least part of) the nation fall in love with her and she inspired people's hearts. I personally like this way of viewing the damsel archetype more, because it keeps consistent how I know how to use my archetypes. I could be wrong but I would need a new and updated model of understanding archetypes if they were to develop into different archetypes. I'm also not sure if this archetype's days are numbered when we're feeling more helpless than ever in so many ways I don't want to bring up to avoid political conversation here. I spent many, many hours alone and in my own spiritual direction sessions with this archetype. It has become one of my favourite archetypes and I still struggle a lot with working with her. I started a website years ago when I discovered how powerful this archetype was but haven't had the chance to prioritise it. Just an about page on a lot of what I've written here at embracethedamsel.home.blog/about/ It is a deep desire in my soul, with everything going on in the current state of affairs and the yelling/kicking/screaming not only being unhelpful but making things worse/helping the opposing side, to see this archetype wake up and empower itself and see what happens then..it is my knowing that almost nothing can break a truly empowered damsel (as with any other truly empowered archetype) and I've yet to see a true example on a large scale.

I also feel differently about the damsel archetype. yes, there is a helplessness and codependency that I recognize in myself, but at the same time I do feel that there is a lot of power in feminine vulnerability. Moments when it felt right, was when a man helped me, and it was like I was allowing him "in" and I offered him trust and appreciation in return. The independent-woman-identity can also be a shield to true intimacy.

The feminine energy movement that's becoming more and more popular today is definitely encouraging the rise of the damsel archetype. I have to be honest and admit that seeing so many women getting taken care of and living 'soft life' sometimes makes me think how nice it would be to have that. At the same time I know that getting empowered and being independent is of greater benefit in the long run, it just feels like it takes so much longer to get to where I want to be. I'd love to learn more about this archetype, and especially how to get it out of your psyche permanently.

They are leaving the workforce and having family take care of them and even those that work are being taken care of by a woman once they clock out. That's just delusional as it goes against stats and reality.

Archetypes work best within the moment or within the scene not a singular characteristic to identify the individual as only that. It’s like having black hair, that simple detail doesn’t define everything about you. It’s attractive when the archetype comes into play when need be, not to entirely identify yourself as. Being a damsel is more submissive but theirs also different archetypes like being a brat to get what you’d like.

I chose this archetype in the early 2000s. I was raised to believe that I was useless .Because I couldn't carry on the family name. That all I was good for was domestic life and having children. Therefore, when I broke away from that environment I did it in the form of being married. Out of desperation ; of course. When that marriage dissolved I continued that pattern of surviving until I was in my late thirties. I've been independent now since 2004. Maybe, it's time I create a new chart. As the Damsel no longer fits my pattern of surviving. I depend upon myself now.

"i acted like a damsel one time " 😂😂😂😂 ALL my relationships were from a damsel energy. I was so distraught in my self i went for big tough men to rescue me and keep me safe. But they ended up beating me up too. Its funny witnessing my sons dad while i emerge into a queen. Hes still definitely looking for the weak helpless damsels to rescue and doesnt like it when we come into our power. I said something like being strong and powerful at home or in a relationship or something , kind of kidding around, and infront of both our kids he said " nah girls shouldn't be like that " I taunted him and said yeah cause u like weak little princesses !!

But when you look at the chessboard, you see who is the most powerful piece on the board. It’s the Queen. She has the most moves to make to protect the King. So it is necessary for the Queen to be fully in charge of her actions

Loved this podcast. Glad we're doing away with the damsel archetype. I think most, if not all, of them, were abused, and beaten down to become helpless, and then, needing saving by a knight type male.,Unfortunately, the real damsels didn't knowingly choose it., Nowadays, if a female feels very insecure and dependent, due to mental, emotional, and/or physical abuse, she's more likely, rather than getting rescued, will be kidnapped and enslaved in the sexual trade industry, etc. I guess that would be going to victim mode.,I was very withdrawn from mental, emotional and physical abuse, and usually you're afraid of all humans and can't accept the love and protection from a caring person. I grew out of it via decades of mistakes and healing and helping others, plus found my own path of spirituality. I did work in the mental health care field, and was abhored and surprised at how many people are abused. I know I would never chose that in a future life time! Thanks Carolyn, from a traveler on this never ending journey.

That’s a really good question! My dad was like that and so was my first long-term boyfriend. They literally couldn’t exist without a woman telling them what to do. I feel like it was a way for them not to face any of their emotions. My dad was an alcoholic and my boyfriend was depressed. Thanks for your comment. It helped to provide balance.

I thought I would never be able to play it , but I need the help from my friends. It has nothing to do with sex, my female friends are stepping in to help , I am 55 and instead of turning my warrior back on them I am going to accept their help with a higher purpose in mind

Painful to watch and interact with a damsel in distress who hasn’t progressed to a Queen, she is very unhappy, unfulfilled and bitter. I speaking about a very close family relationship. And yes, I am aware that I definitely have the Judge archetype in my energy field.

Softening boundries is a good way to put it. Recognizing that men need help sometimes too and they can ask. But what about deliberately helpless men who have to be taken care of because they can't make a sandwich for themselves or do their own laundry!! male damsels exist.

This is a very feminist point of view on the damsel. It’s interesting how your personal story of being a damsel is almost like you are excusing yourself for stepping fully into a feminine archetype like the damsel. In a time where damsel’s archetype is disappearing, it’s also a time where the females happiness is at its lowest. Women are incredibly powerful and valuable to humanity and they do deserve being protected and loved, this is timeless. Yes the collective evolution is changing but the feminine and masculine forces are timeless and fundamental for the balance of the universe. Where we are heading as a society that is separated from nature more and more. Maybe it a time to be humble enough to be just human.

This is a really good point. I think the breaking point (and subsequent breaking away from this archetype) happens when a woman is no longer youth fully attractive enough to be materially supported in this way. This forces the woman to realize independence and freedom- simply because no one will provide for her anymore. In that, it’s less that women in modern society reject this archetype, and more that they have the foresight to realize that it’s best to learn to support themselves early on in case of the inevitable.

As a WHITE KNIGHT nobody save anyone. Everyone works out their own salvation. Of the damsel the dark side is the damsel waiting to be rescued. The light side of the archetype is a damsel that can be an equal partner. Strip clubs are VERY populated with this archetype.

Could be that the Damsel belongs more to teenage women, and the way towards maturity. Still is a beautiful archetype in that sense. Seems that modern world is losing this kind sensitivity and balance between male and female.
