What Is Jungian Psychotherapy?

Jungian psychotherapy, also known as analytical psychology, is a therapeutic approach developed by Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. It’s a holistic method that focuses on understanding the individual’s unconscious mind, archetypes, and the process of individuation.

The Life and Work of Carl Jung

Carl Jung, born in 1875, was a pioneer in the field of psychology. He founded analytical psychology, which emphasizes the importance of the unconscious mind and the exploration of one’s inner world. Jung’s work has had a profound impact on psychology, and his ideas continue to be influential today.

Key Concepts of Jungian Psychotherapy

Self-Exploration Through Dream Analysis

One of the central practices in Jungian psychotherapy is dream analysis. Dreams are seen as a window to the unconscious, and therapists work with clients to interpret the symbolism and meaning behind their dreams.

Understanding the Collective Unconscious

Jung introduced the concept of the collective unconscious, a reservoir of shared human experiences and symbols. Exploring this collective aspect of the mind is integral to Jungian therapy.

Individuation: The Path to Self-Discovery

Individuation is the process of becoming one’s true self. Jungian therapy aims to guide individuals on this path, helping them achieve a more profound understanding of themselves.

Archetypes: The Symbols of Our Psyche

Archetypes are universal symbols found in myths, dreams, and religions. They represent fundamental human experiences and can be a powerful tool for self-exploration.

The Role of the Therapist

Jungian therapists provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their inner worlds. They act as guides on the journey to self-discovery.

Jungian Psychotherapy Techniques

Active Imagination

Active imagination is a technique that encourages clients to interact with the contents of their unconscious mind through imagination and creativity.

Sandplay Therapy

Sandplay therapy allows individuals to create a world in a tray of sand, expressing their inner experiences and conflicts.

Who Can Benefit from Jungian Psychotherapy?

Jungian therapy is suitable for individuals seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, those dealing with emotional wellbeing, and those interested in exploring the realm of dreams and symbols.

A Holistic Approach to Mental Health

Jungian psychotherapy offers a holistic perspective on mental health, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

A Journey of Self-Realization

Embarking on Jungian therapy is akin to a journey of self-realization, a process that can lead to profound personal growth and transformation.

Is Jungian Psychotherapy Right for You?

If you’re curious about your inner world, drawn to symbolism and dreams, and open to self-exploration, Jungian psychotherapy may be a path worth considering.

Final Thought:

In conclusion, Jungian psychotherapy offers a unique and profound way to explore the depths of your mind and uncover the hidden treasures of your unconscious. It’s a journey of self-discovery that can lead to a richer and more meaningful life.

What I would say/i guess about women who are attracted to Micah Bell and Javier Escuella:

(I fit into this group of women) (˙༥˙(👈

❤︎ Javier and Micah are the characters I'm most focused on in the game and in the fandom, but I intend to talk about other members of the gang if anyone wants me to.

❤︎ Note: the images aren't mine, they're from Pinterest, I just edited them and changed details and made a cover for this post! :p

𝓜𝓲𝓬𝓪𝓱 𝓑𝓮𝓵𝓵 -

In my view if a someone feels attracted to Micah Bell, I’d say she has a thing for chaotic, unpredictable, and somewhat dangerous men. Micah is treacherous, manipulative, and extremely violent, but he also has a twisted charisma and unshakable confidence. This might suggest that she’s drawn to unapologetic rude man’s (bad boys? No…I don't think that's the right term for him, I'll explain later) who exude self-assurance and an “I do whatever I want, no one can stop me” attitude. Fascination with danger, being ordered around and “threatened”, something almost sadistic...the desire to possess or be taken by something/someone in which the relationship would be seen as forbidden or absurdly impossible, especially if the couple don't resemble each other in the slightest.

If I were to analyze their types:

I did some research with AI, psychology videos and voices in my head (lol-), so I came to the conclusion, almost certainly because I'm not a health expert, but I believe the conclusion corresponds to my summarized research:

❤︎ One of the most evident reasons or possibilities, repeating once again: questionable charisma and danger. Micah has a charismatic nature, with a strong presence, confidence, boldness, and a sense of security. He attracts many people, even those who question his morality. A visible aura of conscious danger can be thrilling, especially for those who are drawn to dominant and unpredictable personalities, as he always appears unfazed and unintimidated by others. It’s no coincidence that he didn’t panic when he was shot by Dutch or when he repeatedly clashed head-on with Arthur.

Many people are fascinated by charismatic villains, and Micah, with his rustic style and confident attitude, can be captivating. Additionally, some people are attracted to troubled men, believing they can change them, feeling drawn to problematic individuals because they think they can “fix” or “save” them, romanticizing the idea that he could be different with the right love. I believe this could happen, but it would depend a lot on his own effort. Normally, people don’t change completely because of the environment in which they grew up and learned—both childhood and adolescence play a huge role in shaping an individual. The way someone is raised (whether well or poorly) MOLDS who they become and how they act.

Example: extremely strict, conservative people, and in many cases, Christians—mostly Protestants—often learn from their families certain prejudiced expressions and statements that were justified as biblical in many cases, even though not all of them were concrete. Some were used to “cover up” acts and speeches against these groups of people. That being said, I can say that Micah is somewhat of a patriot, even if he isn’t particularly religious. The way he was raised by his father, possibly even being distant from his own mother, made him completely closed off, locked inside his own world of justice and reason. He is an adult and knows how to make choices, he knows what is right and wrong—even if his sense of morality is distorted due to the way he was raised and taught by his father. If I’m not mistaken, Micah is the youngest son, and maybe that’s why he kept doing what his father did—perhaps in an attempt to please him, to be greater than him, or maybe just to avoid forgetting someone he barely remembers

JUNGIAN SHADOW: The Repressed Side of the Psyche

❤︎ Carl Jung, a psychiatrist and psychotherapist born in Switzerland, conducted research and described a “shadow” as an unconscious and repressed part of a person’s personality, where traits, desires, and impulses that do not fit into the conscious or socially acceptable identity (the one that divides a person in terms of moral good and evil) are stored. The shadow can contain both negative aspects, such as aggressiveness and selfishness, as well as repressed qualities, such as boldness and a desire for freedom. Carl began developing the concept of the Shadow around the 1910s. Micah Bell presents himself as an individual who does not care about social and moral norms. He is treacherous, grumpy, mocking, and opportunistic, but also extremely free, proudly self-confident, and fearless. For some people, especially those who repress certain desires or more primitive impulses, he can become an irresistible symbol. Perhaps they project onto him what they secretly wish to be or experience—whether it be the feeling of power, strength, lack of restraints, or the freedom to act without guilt. The attraction to someone like Micah may stem from an unconscious identification with this shadow, as he embodies aspects of the psyche that some would like to express but cannot due to societal norms or their own self-control.

Attraction to the Feeling of Power and Domination, to the Alpha Male

❤︎ The idea of the “alpha male,” which is a bit of a cliché term—I don’t know—is deeply rooted in biological and social instincts. For much of human history, survival depended on strength, dominance, and the ability of men to lead in tribal societies. Although social dynamics today are more complex, the attraction to traits associated with power and leadership remains strong in many people.

Micah have exudes this brutal survivor energy. He fears no one, manipulates to get what he wants, and always maintains control over situations. Even though he is despicable, he is a strategist and survives in a world where the weak are discarded. For some people, this behavior conveys strength and raw masculinity—something that can trigger an unconscious attraction, especially in those who value security, protection, or dominant leadership. Another psychological factor is that some people are drawn to danger and unpredictability. Someone like Micah will never be boring; he will always be a challenge, mainly because his actions are unpredictable. For some people with a more submissive personality or who seek dominant figures—someone who gives them the feeling of “he is in control, I don’t need to ask, he takes care of it”—he may seem magnetic, even with his cruel behavior.

Now, if a woman likes Javier Escuella, the story is quite different…. Javier is a loyal man (at least to some extent), passionate about life, music, and camaraderie. He has a Latin charm, a romantic side deep down, and gives off an energy of a “seductive outlaw.” This could indicate that she’s attracted to men with an exotic touch, who mix charisma with passion and emotional intensity. Maybe she’s drawn to adventurers—rebels who still hold onto some sense of honor—someone who can be dangerous but also has principles.

❤︎ A woman who likes Javier Escuella prefers a more romantic rebel—someone who can be dangerous but still carries passion and loyalty (to his own interests). It’s more about intensity and adventure rather than pure self-destruction. In fact, it's said both in the game and on websites and books that Javier fled Mexico fearing for the lives of the people he loved, not for his own skin. He killed a man of power because he was in love with a woman who was married to this man of "power". But I don't remember if this question of being in love is one hundred percent affirmative, I didn't smoke anything while I was playing and I think he says it like this….look:

I firmly believe that Javier is not a fool, he wouldn't kill someone for no apparent reason, not even in the heat of the moment, in that scene of the separation of the gang he shows himself confused and analytical about everything that happened in the gang, so much so that I believe that he thinks he and Bill decided to leave, I didn't see Javier or Bill in the scene where Arthur climbs the stone hills, I only remember Micah, Dutch and those other two men that Micah took to the gang. So in my opinion the military man or man of power that Javier killed for the woman he loved, possibly did something against the workers or even to her, if he was going to stay with her he would have known exactly how to escape even if it was risky, maybe this man would have discovered the betrayal and killed her or beat her, or something worse... Mexico at that time was known as a violent place, where the minority that suffered the most were women.

If I were to analyze their types:

I don't think Javier needs that much analysis for someone to like him, he doesn't have any kind of Red flag 🚩, so let's say....right right, I did some research and one of the traits that is most included in attractiveness would be personality and Identification. Javier is a loyal, charismatic, and enigmatic member. His blend of honor and pragmatism can attract people who seek trustworthy and loyal figures but also have an independent and rebellious side that refuses to be stepped on.

Personality Theory (Big Five) and Connection to Attachment Theory:

According to attachment theory, many people seek partners who offer a secure attachment—someone who is present but not overly controlling. Javier represents this balance, as he appears committed and protective without being suffocating. He cares about those he loves, but does not deprive them of their freedom. According to this theory, people with high agreeableness may feel drawn to his loyalty and sense of brotherhood. Meanwhile, those with greater openness to experience (similar to him) might relate to his free-spirited nature.

❤︎ Agreeableness - is a personality trait that refers to the tendency to be cooperative and compassionate rather than suspicious or antagonistic. Individuals with high agreeableness are generally more respectful, friendly, generous, helpful, and committed

The Instinct of Care, the Fantasy of the Protective Partner, and the Need for Security and Protection:

Many women (and not just women, even some small groups of men) feel attracted to men who give off a sense of security, not just physically but also emotionally. And Javier shows unwavering loyalty to his group and his companions, which can be seen as a sign of reliability and stability. He’s someone who doesn’t abandon those he cares about, but for him, loyalty is the trunk of the tree of morality, which can create a feeling of comfort and protection—something that is exceptionally sought after and desired among women.

Javier can also be seen as the archetype of the “protective partner,” someone who defends those he loves and is willing to fight for them. This trait—once again, repeating—can trigger the unconscious desire to be cared for and protected, especially in women who value relationships built on trust and mutual security.

Psychodynamics and Projection:

Carl Jung, who I mentioned earlier at the beginning of the post, would probably say that male figures like Javier can represent—repeating again—the archetype of the “loyal companion,” someone who combines empathy and strength. For some, he might symbolize qualities they wish to express or find in another person. What people seek and value the most are deep emotional connections, so they might find themselves attracted to the way he engages with others. Those who repress desires for adventure, a sense of justice, loyalty, or independence might project that onto him, admiring his free-spirited life since they don’t allow themselves to live that way.

And lastly.....

Attraction to the Exotic and the Mysterious Past:

Javier has a foreign background—he’s Mexican—and a past that’s barely explored (which I firmly believe could make up half the story of a full game; he’s so underdeveloped, unfortunately). This can spark interest in people who feel drawn to the curiosity about his past or even to the idea of an outsider. Psychologically, the effect of novelty on something unknown can make that attraction even stronger.

So, I can conclude from these analyses that women/girls who are attracted to both Javier and Micah Bell likely have a fascination with extreme contrasts. On one hand, she values loyalty, protection, and deep emotional connection (Javier fits here); on the other, she feels drawn to danger, unpredictability, and limitless freedom (Micah fits here). This may reflect a duality within herself (which I also feel)—a desire for security and stability, but also a curiosity for controlled chaos and the forbidden thrill in their stark differences.

Maybe you’re someone who seeks different intensities in relationships, who is interested in psychological complexity, and who might have a repressed sense of pride that expresses itself through these opposing attractions or through the actions of the character you feel drawn to. I believe that people in our group take pride in having a partner who matches their “ANIMUS”—a confident partner who is admired or desired for their control over what they do or simply for being great at it. This also helps shape your own image as their partner. Couples where one person is striking make the second partner more interesting, sparking curiosity about “who?” or “how?” the person managed to win and claim them.

CINEMA! I’m going crazy, creating theories and analyses—this is fun and makes me happy! 🚶🏻🤸🏻

Balancing the Psyche: Embracing the Feminine Principle in Personal Growth

The interplay between the resurgence of the feminine principle, personal transformation, and the quest for balance is a pivotal aspect of contemporary societal and individual evolution. As highlighted in the work of Maureen Murdock, PhD, an author, educator, and Jungian-oriented psychotherapist, the last few millennia have been characterized by a dominance of masculine culture, leading to the suppression of the feminine. However, this paradigm is now being challenged, as the feminine, associated with the unconscious, healing, and mystery, begins to emerge as a counterbalancing force. This shift is metaphorically represented by the archetype of the Dark Goddess, symbolizing the deep-seated need for healing the feminine wound within individuals and culture.

The transformative journey of the heroine, as outlined in stages of separation, identification with the masculine, and eventual descent into the unconscious, offers a universal blueprint for growth. This journey is not confined by gender; rather, it presents a holistic path for integrating repressed aspects, achieving inner balance, and fostering a more compassionate, inclusive society.

As we move forward in this critical juncture of human history, the significance of embracing the feminine, pursuing personal transformation, and striving for balance cannot be overstated. It is through these interconnected processes that we may forge a more compassionate, holistic understanding of the self and the world, healing the wounds of the past, and illuminating a pathway towards a future that truly honors the interconnectedness of all beings.

By deeply integrating the feminine principle, we not only contribute to personal healing but also to the broader cultural healing, cultivating a society that values harmony, balance, and the divine in all aspects of life. By doing so, we create a world that reflects the harmony of the self, embodying the transformative power of the heroine’s journey.

In navigating this transformative landscape, individuals are invited to engage in a process of self-discovery that honors the complexity of the human experience. This involves embracing the feminine aspects of intuition, creativity, and emotional intelligence, alongside the masculine principles of logic and action. By acknowledging and honoring this interconnectedness, we foster a deeper understanding of the self and the world, paving the way for a more enlightened, compassionate society.

As we embark on this journey, the significance of the resurgence of the feminine, the pursuit of personal transformation, and the quest for balance becomes increasingly evident. By integrating the repressed feminine aspect, we heal the deep-seated wounds of the past, and by honoring the interconnectedness of all beings, we illuminate a path towards a brighter, more holistic future. This future is one where the harmony of the self reflects the harmony of the world, and the world’s harmony is, in turn, a reflection of the self’s.

no offence but why are we listening to jungian psychotherapist lopez-pedraza about what hermes did or did not do

[not-poignant]

Today I've been told by an old, wise woman (don't ask me why or how. It's a long story) that I might become a Psychopomp when I'll be older, because my soul has a very strong light and it will help many others through the whole trespassing process, only if I want to, of course. I immediately thought about Gwyn (haha). I don't know if it's entirely a good thing, I need to do some research, but thinking about Gwyn helps a little.

Hi anon!

It's actually not that uncommon in certain spiritual animism circles tbh to be a psychopomp. And psychopomps are found in nearly every animist tradition / religion / spirituality all over the world (both as gods, heroes, and also people - especially because some of these traditions deify real people / ancestors). You might want to look into Eurasian shamanism specifically.

Over a decade ago now, I practiced this myself, and a fascination with both living and deified psychopomps (and the overall practice of being a death shepherd) was what led me to write a character like Gwyn ap Nudd in the first place. :D

I definitely recommend doing research into it, since it can be labour-intensive for some, and it's not for everyone. Also it might be worth looking into the Jungian psychological version! Because if you approach the subject laterally, the psychopomp in Jungian thinking is someone (or a being) that mediates between conscious and unconscious thought, and that can be anything from a symbolic animal or figure, to a psychotherapist depending on the techniques!

[keradamo]

What on earth is this?

Hahahaha. If there is a Jungian schooled psychotherapist in the room to explain what came out of my hands, please do so.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

I felt there is very relevant information here about how the focus on transition can keep people from focusing on traumas that caused them to dissociate from their bodies in the first place and worsen the dissociation.

i'm really struggling with writing this unethical psychologist character in my novel mostly bc

a) i feel like i need to know more about how actual psychologists and psychotherapists conduct their practice so i know precisely where to tweak it to make it sketchy

and

b) now that i'm actually reading jung, i feel like i accidentally just made this guy a run-of-the-mill jungian rather than the weird, slightly sinister and more subtle mad scientist vibe i was trying to go for.

[thylacinetears]

I'd say that Lisa Marchiano is probably more responsible. She's sort of "the man behind the man" in that whilst Littman was the one to publish the ROGD "paper", Marchiano did much of the work in the background. She essentially invented the ROGD/trans social contagion psuedoscientific narrative, being one of the first people to use the term, popularise the theory on social media, and she helped recruit participants for the "study". She's also the co-author of "When Kids Say They're Trans", a book similar to "Irreversible Damage". She's affiliated with many major anti-trans institutions, too.

It's genuinely crazy how much damage this one woman has caused. There is no doubt in my mind that many, many children are dead because of her actions.

Here's a bunch of sources if you want to learn more about her and her rhetoric:

actually its insane how much modern transandrophobic rhetoric lisa littman is responsible for. the idea that young trans boys are following trends and developing fake disorders was run with by abigail shrier in her “irreversible damage” book, where she lists things from the lack of trans boys having sex to older (masculine) trans men preying upon or manipulating young girls… your average person with trans friends knows about this rhetoric but how many people know where it comes from?
