Jungian
Collective unconscious theory
Jungian relates to the theories of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who broke from Freud to develop analytical psychology.
Jungian concepts include the collective unconscious, archetypes, and personality types (introvert/extrovert).
A Jungian analyst helped her explore recurring dream symbols.
The term often describes therapy focused on dreams, myths, and universal patterns of human experience.
