Are You Really You?  The Psychology of Carl Jung

Carl Jung's psychology delves into the unconscious mind, revealing the hidden aspects that shape our true identity.

1

The Persona

The persona is the social face we present to the world, often concealing our authentic self (Jung, 1953)

2

The Shadow

The shadow holds our repressed traits and instincts. Integrating it is key to wholeness (Jung, 1938).

3

Archetypes

Archetypes are innate, universal symbols that influence our thoughts and behaviors (Jung, 1947).

4

The Collective Unconscious

The collective unconscious connects us all through shared ancestral memories and experiences (Jung, 1936).

5

Individuation

Individuation is the process of integrating the conscious and unconscious to achieve self-realization (Jung, 1921).

6

Anima and Animus

The anima (feminine) and animus (masculine) are unconscious aspects that complete our psyche (Jung, 1951).

7

Dreams and the Unconscious

Jung saw dreams as messages from the unconscious, guiding us toward self-understanding (Jung, 1964).
