Image by AL BON from Pixabay Note:  You can also read Dr. Mara’s blog on Medium.“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: both are transformed.” ~ Carl Jung   If we are on social media or watch any news outlet, we will see a very divided nation and quite a bit of anger directed toward each other.
