You Outgrew Them. Why Are They Still In Your Head? — Carl Jung

In this video, we explore Carl Jung's ideas on complexes, the imago and projection, and why the person living in your head is mostly not the real person. Jung started with a stopwatch in a psychiatric hospital in Zurich, and what he measured there explains why some people never leave your mind. You will learn why your mind picked this particular face, what you may have handed them to hold, what changes when it's a parent, and what it takes to make the voice go quiet.
