Why do certain behaviors or traits in others trigger such intense reactions within us?

Jung believed that projections are a defense mechanism. They protect us from uncomfortable truths about ourselves and allow us to avoid confronting difficult or repressed aspects of our psyche. These projections can manifest in positive or negative ways. For example, you might project your own insecurities onto others, seeing them as judgmental or dismissive, when in fact, it's your own internal judgment and self-doubt you are feeling

**Today's session is all about uncovering what our projections reveal about ourselves. **

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” - Carl Jung

My Unconscious Life is a Space dedicated to exploring the depths of the unconscious mind, where hidden aspects of our personalities reside.

We delve into concepts like the persona, the shadow, and other elements of the psyche that shape our inner and outer world.

Topics we'll cover include dream interpretation, Jungian psychology, and techniques for integrating the unconscious into daily life.

Through our discussions, we uncover how our outward masks and hidden traits affect our interactions and self-perception.
Whether you are new to exploring the psyche or have a deep interest in psychological self-discovery, My Unconscious Life offers a supportive space to connect with others on a journey of understanding and integrating the unconscious mind

Sample Prompts

• Which Jungian archetype do you resonate with the most (e.g., the Hero, the Shadow, the Anima/Animus)?
• Share a recent dream you had. What themes and feelings stood out to you?
• Identify a trait or behavior that you tend to suppress or hide. How does this shadow aspect of yourself manifest in your actions?

The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul, opening into that cosmic night which was psyche long before there was any ego-consciousness, and which will remain psyche no matter how far our ego-consciousness extends. - Carl Jung
