Carl Jung (1875-1961), was a distinguished Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. His deep knowledge of literature, art, eastern religion, alchemy, and pagan mythology helped him create one of the most prominent fields in psychology: Analytic Psychology.
Derived from Freud’s Psychoanalysis, Analytical Psychology retained an emphasis on the unconscious but expanded beyond the personal unconscious to include archetypes and a collective unconscious.
At some point in your life, you’ll have your heart broken. And not just once, but several times. You may go through the loss of a significant relationship, the death of someone you love, or perhaps, you’ll fail in your career. Whichever the reason, do you know how to mend a broken heart? And perhaps, not only mend it. More important yet, do you know how to gain wisdom and growth out of wretchedness?
I am an avid devourer of any psychological read. From self-help books to research-based articles, to psychological thrillers. From time to time, I also encounter young adult books with strong and fulfilling messages, like Steven Chbosky’s book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I strongly resonate with his most celebrated quote, “We accept the love we think we deserve,” for one simple reason. The love we think we deserve is the love we are accustomed to.
