Anima Possession: Why Some Men Never Enter Life | Jungian Psychology

“Today humanity, as never before, is split into two apparently irreconcilable halves. The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided and does not become conscious of his inner opposite, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves.”
(C. G. Jung, Aion, CW 9ii, par. 126)

If you’re struggling with relating to women, your emotions, and life itself,
If you’re stuck in your head, analyzing from a seemingly safe distance, if you’re compulsively avoiding responsibility and action,
then this video is meant for you.

In Jungian terms, this is often an anima possession, the unconscious feminine in a man is not related to his conscious self, so it runs his life indirectly through moods, idealization, and paralysis.

In this video, we explore how this pattern forms, what it costs, and what it asks of a man if he wants to return to life.
