Jung held that there were two kinds of Individuation: Natural, and Conscious.
🔹Natural Individuation happens organically as a result of completing the stages of life that emerge from the genome, as a timed-release process over the lifespan. This does not require any special psychological effort or training, and one can fully individuate without knowing anything about Jung’s theory or practicing depth psychology. This, is intuitive - why would we have evolved a process that, by necessity, requires Jung's writings to complete?
🔸Conscious Individuation, however, requires great effort and commitment to developing the whole of our personality. This involves making as much of our unconscious contents, as is possible, conscious, or at least, bringing them into reflexive relationship with our ego consciousness.
🔸During the process of Conscious Individuation, by adapting fully to the biological facts of our nature, and the realities of the social world, one will achieve a true bio-psycho-social 'adaptation', and, therefore, will be as balanced and harmonious as one can be, with respect to the true totality of our nature.
♦️Our students at The Institute for Psycho-Systems Analysis (IPSA) are training to be psychotherapists, and are held to the highest standards of self-development and Conscious Individuation - one can only bring a patient up to the level that they have achieved themselves. This is facilitated by first-class resources, wide opportunities for practice, tons of pre-recorded practical demonstrations, and personal supervision.
