I’m not an expert but I consider my sensitivity for this quite reliable. Your question is quite current in my mind. I recently had an archetypal dream, first one ever in my life, one where a family pet spoke to me. Supposedly when animals speak in a dream it is evidence of archetypal involvement. The animal suffered from a similar leg condition. I have been busy trying to process it and that is what led me to this site. In my experience ankle injuries and pain, in the mind/body continuum, represents a subconscious reaction to a conscious decision to remain in a relationship that one would rather not be in. I am very hesitant to change the relationship that I believe is causing my mind/body distress so if anyone has any ideas about how to over-ride this mind/body reaction without causing myself harm, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts. I will be checking the site often for responses.
