They Don’t Love You — They Love Controlling You - Carl Jung

In this episode, we explore Carl Jung’s insights on shadow psychology, toxic dynamics, and the hidden motivations behind manipulation.

Jung understood that when people attempt to "love" you by shaping, fixing, or breaking you — it’s not love at all. It's domination disguised as care.

Through the lens of Jungian psychology, we uncover why empaths and deep feelers often attract those who seek to control. And more importantly: how to stop it.

🔍 Topics covered:
– Shadow projection and emotional control
– Why manipulators are drawn to sensitive people
– The difference between love and possession
– How to regain your psychological sovereignty

► "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." – Carl Jung
