Jungian psychology
Collective unconscious study
Jungian psychology is the school of thought developed by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, emphasizing the collective unconscious—a shared reservoir of archetypes and symbols common to all humans.
Key concepts include individuation (the process of integrating conscious and unconscious elements), personality types like introvert and extrovert, and the shadow (repressed aspects of the self).
Her therapist takes a Jungian approach.
