Individuation The process of combining the conscious with the unconscious to reach self-actualization. The first step to Individuation is Differentiation. It is to distinguish and separate each part of The three parts of the psyche (Ego, Personal unconscious, and Collective unconscious).

Individuation

The Ego The Ego is known as the self as humans the ego is responsible for our feelings of identity. The ego holds memories from prior experiences relating to the thoughts and feelings in regards to individuals behaviors. Personal identity or ego developed around the age of four according Jung

The Ego Four Functions Sensation, Thinking, Feeling, and Intuition. These consist of opposed pairs.  Thinking is the opposite of Feeling Sensation the opposite of Intuition.

The Personal Unconscious The Personal Unconscious is next to the ego It holds sheltered private experiences of an individual from earlier which the unconscious deems a threat and not part of the individual’s awareness The personal unconscious contains feelings and urges that have been actively repressed the unconscious is a storehouse for suppressed experiences from an individual’s memories

The Collective Unconscious Methods to engage the images: Explication technique is for interpreting the unconscious. Amplification technique is for interpreting the unconscious. Active imagination technique is for experiencing the unconscious.

Collective Unconscious Archetypes The Persona is the image you present to the world in your waking life. It is your public mask. In the dream world, the persona is represented by the Self. The Self may or may not resemble you physically or may or may not behave as your would.

Collective Unconscious Archetypes The Shadow is the rejected and repressed aspects of yourself. It is the part of yourself that you do not want the world to see because it is ugly or unappealing. It symbolizes weakness, fear, or anger. In dreams, this figure is represented by a stalker, murderer, a bully, or pursuer.

Collective Unconscious Archetypes The Anima / Animus is the female and male aspects of yourself. Everyone possess both feminine and masculine qualities. In dreams, the anima appears as a highly feminized figure, while the animus appears as a hyper masculine form. They serve as a reminder that you must learn to acknowledge or express your masculine (be more assertive) or feminine side (be more emotional).

Collective Unconscious Archetypes The Divine Child is your true self in its purest form. It symbolizes your innocence, your sense of vulnerability, and your helplessness. It also represents your aspirations and full potential. This figure is represented by a baby or young child.

Collective Unconscious Archetypes The Wise Old Man /Woman is the helper in your dreams. Represented by a teacher, father, doctor, priest or some other unknown authority They serve to offer guidance and words of wisdom. They appear in your dream to steer and guide you into the right direction.

Collective Unconscious Archetypes The Great Mother is the nurturer. The Great Mother appears in your dreams as your own mother, grandmother, or other nurturing figure. She provides you with positive reassurance.

Collective Unconscious Archetypes The Trickster, plays jokes to keep you from taking yourself too seriously. The trickster may appear in your dream when you have overreach or misjudge a situation. The trickster often makes you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed

A window into the unconscious Dream Interpretation A window into the unconscious

Dream Interpretation Dreams are a way of communicating with the unconscious. Jung believed that dreams reveal something about you. Thinking about what is going on in your life helps you interpret your dreams.

Dream Interpretation Elements Subject Level Prospective aspect Compensation Amplification method

Dream Interpretation Subject Level Object Level-The relationship between the dreamer and real life Subject Level-The dream reveals, in a symbolic way, the individuals psychological life

Dream Interpretation Prospective Aspect Jung's dream approach is prospective It’s a future path or road to follow Like a map of dreamer's path toward a balance of ego and self

Dream Interpretation Compensation Dreams are a compensation for what is going on in daily life. They can serve as a positive or negative compensation. In this way, they attempt to balance the psyche. For example: If you experience unhappiness in daily life, you may have a blissful dream. If you are very successful in a specific area of life, you may have a dream about failure or disaster.

Synchronicity Synchronicity is the grouping of two or more events related by coincidence The subject sees it as a meaningful coincidence, although the events need not be exactly simultaneous in time. events may be connected by a causal line, they may also be connected by meaning. A grouping of events by meaning need not have an explanation in terms of cause and effect.

Synchronicity Example One night, the patient dreamt about a golden scarab. The next day, during the psychotherapy session, a real insect hit against the Jung's cabinet window. Jung caught it and discovered surprisingly that it was a golden scarab; a very rare presence for that climate. So, the idea is all about coincidence: in this case, between the scarab dreamt by the patient and its appearance in reality, in the psychotherapy cabinet.

Introversion Introversion is one of the major personality traits identified in many theories of personality. People who are introverted tend to be inward turning, or focused more on internal thoughts, feelings and moods rather than seeking out external stimulation.

Common Introversion Traits Very self-aware Thoughtful Enjoys understanding details Interested in self-knowledge and self-understanding Tends to keep emotions private Quiet and reserved in large groups or around unfamiliar people More sociable and gregarious around people they know well Learns well through observation

Extraversion Characterized by sociability, talkativeness, assertiveness and excitability. People who are high in extraversion tend to seek out social stimulation and opportunities to engage with others. These individuals are often described as being full of life, energy and positivity. In group situations, extraverts are likely to talk often and assert themselves. (Austin Markle)

Common Extraversion Traits Extraversion is often marked by a number of different sub-traits. Some of these include: Warmth Seeking novelty and excitement Gregariousness Assertive Cheerful Talkative Enjoys being the center of attention (Austin Markle) Action oriented

Active Imagination The bridge the gap between the conscious and unconscious minds The process is to translate the contents of dreams without adding any analysis from the conscious mind. This is the state in between sleep and wakefulness, where people may be partially aware that they are dreaming. In contemporary psychology, the term active imagination is most commonly associated with a tendency to have a very creative imagination rather than with the Jungian process.
