Carl Jung believed the unconscious communicates through symbols.
Hypnotherapy works with the same language; imagery, metaphor, and inner experience.
When you relax deeply, your mind doesn’t think logically, it speaks symbolically. Sometimes the part of you that wants to change isn’t the only part present. Jung called the hidden, disowned parts of ourselves the ‘shadow.’
In hypnosis, we can safely explore and integrate these parts rather than fight them. If willpower worked, you’d have changed already.
Jung understood that real change happens when the unconscious shifts, not just conscious intention. Jung used the word ‘individuation’ to describe becoming your true self, not the version shaped by fear, conditioning, or expectation.
Hypnotherapy can support that process.

Jung saying harsh truths makes him probably my most relatable Psychologist. Two pages of his quotes is just not enough. There is lots of talk on social media of the shadow self but hopefully people understand the theory in its psychological context before posting it and I really doubt the reliability of such online quizzes.

Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology whose ideas reshaped how we understand the human mind. At a time when psychology focused mainly on pathology and surface behaviour, Jung looked deeper, exploring symbolism, spirituality, myth, and the inner search for meaning. He believed that true psychological health comes from individuation: the lifelong process of becoming your authentic self by integrating both the light and shadow aspects of your personality.

One of Jung’s most influential ideas was the collective unconscious, the idea that beneath our personal experiences lies a shared psychological inheritance common to all humanity. Within this collective layer exist archetypes, universal patterns and symbols such as the Hero, the Shadow, the Mother, and the Wise Old Man, which appear across cultures, dreams, stories, and religions. Today, these ideas resonate strongly in conversations around identity, self-awareness, and the “collective consciousness,” showing just how far ahead of his time Jung truly was.

Jung often challenged the rigid scientific and social norms of his era. He openly explored topics many considered unconventional, spirituality, alchemy, dreams, and mythology, because he believed understanding the human psyche required more than strict rationalism. He followed his ideas even when they went against mainstream thinking, prioritising truth and inner exploration over social approval. That willingness to question accepted structures is part of why his work continues to feel modern and deeply relatable today.

Positive affirmations aren’t just “feel-good words”, they’re backed by science. Research on self-affirmation theory shows that affirming core values can reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and buffer against psychological threat (Steele, 1988; Creswell et al., 2013). Studies using neuroimaging even show affirmations activate brain regions linked to self-processing and reward, supporting their therapeutic potential (Cascio et al., 2016). When practiced consistently, positive affirmations can enhance well-being, increase resilience, and support mental health by reinforcing a stable and compassionate sense of self 🧠💗
