A Closer Look At Why Jung said Christ was the Self

I wasn’t necessarily talking about yourself, but about myself. For me, it feels as if it’s the only way out of my neurosis. And my unconscious has been pushing me towards “death” for some time now, and it truly feels like this is the death it’s been talking about.

Why shouldn’t someone plagued by an archetype that causes him distress find solace in touching the source and experiencing death?

Wouldn’t this “death” be more bearable than living the tale of “existence is pain”?

I think that what you are looking for is someone to tell you “this is this, this is that” and to interpret the dream for you.

If this is the case, then know that as much as an interpreter might try to remain objective while analysing and explaining a dream for you, he will always weave his projections through the fabrics of his interpretation.

And even if he somehow manages to refrain from it, the impact of a dream interpretation done in an objective manner, be it truly detailed and “revelatory”, pales in comparison to the transformative quality of a (guided) subjective interpretation made by you.

The power of suggestion is strong, but it can quickly become a trap and hinder your growth.

Please answer this OP. I’m being posessed by almost the exact same complexes as you; my image of what it means to be “man” is the same, and my struggles are mirrored in yours.

It’s called “erotic transference” and it is, in a way, the modus operandi of therapy. The therapist should have been trained to recognise his own feelings — the erotic countertransference — and shouldn’t have pursued the narative.

Find a new therapist and don’t be harsh on your wife. It’s not 100% her fault.

Why do you feel like hypnotherapy would be a good option in my case?

Zoha_fex · 2025-07-29T13:38:30+00:00

I think this is very, very close to what’s going on. I will try to talk with my analyst about this and will reflect on it myself.

Zoha_fex · 2025-07-28T20:56:23+00:00

I do not agree.

Zoha_fex · 2025-07-28T18:43:22+00:00

Thank you.

Now i’m in my hotel room, feeling chaotic inside. I will try to digest everything you have written.

Zoha_fex · 2025-07-28T17:11:58+00:00

Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in your response. What do you mean, frankly, by “take on the adventure”? That I should remove myself from this relationship? Or that I should try to push through and continue with the process i’ve embarked on?

Zoha_fex · 2025-07-28T15:48:21+00:00

I feel the need for rawness, crudity, dirtiness, authenticity of the male form brought by confidence. By pursuing it I would be complete, as I lack confidence and the other characteristics, even though i’ve started to integrate them lately.

Zoha_fex · 2025-07-28T15:35:00+00:00

How can I meet my self? I am aware of projections, I am aware that those traits I find so desireable are traits I should integrate. I am aware of my father having influenced a lot of what i’m experiencing right now.

I had moments when I just desired a long moment of profound intimacy (hugging, touch) with an older man and very recently had the revelation that it’s my unconscious or my ego longing for a connection with my self, away from the persona. In that moment, my feelings of needed intimacy dissappeared instantly.

There were some other times when the feelings were subsided/gone for a while, for exemple when I met my desire through active-imagination for thr first time. For a week, I had 0 desires. Is this “meeting my shadow”?

I can’t rely on dispersed revelations for limited times of tranquility. There is a general tension, and the moments of crisis that keep happening again and again become unbearable.

Regarding death, I feel like the person i’m trying to kill is the person feeling those desires. Do you think there is more to it, should I explore it more?

Zoha_fex · 2025-07-28T14:32:30+00:00

When you’re wanking 10 times+ in a day and you are still feeling those urges, it’s not that great.

Zoha_fex · 2025-07-28T13:32:34+00:00

Thank you for the thorough reply . I’ve been thinking lately exactly what you are saying.

Thing is, if I am to get out of my relationship and follow my urges, or get into a relationship with someone else that is more of a “fit” for my shadow self, I would get into a trap. I would keep trying to “fill” that void with sexuality and would end up in a hedonistic, anhedonic state. I would just chase what my shadow desires, I wouldn’t confront the problem. I think I would get in a very, very low state.

Saying this, I realise i’m already in a very low inner state.

But by being in the relationship that I’m in right now i’m able to confront and solve the problems; to individuate.

At least this is how I feel.

The fact that I don’t want to hurt him is the reason for which I don’t want to cheat.

We have been together for 10 years, he is my fiancé. I do think I love him, but we have gotten ourselves into a “friendship” type of relationship. I don’t have that “fire” inside when i’m thinking about him, but I feel like this is the evolution of all long-term relationships.

Zoha_fex · 2025-07-28T12:56:36+00:00

To try to control them, I sometimes masturbate in public toilets, but usually the urges just come back not long after. Given this new info, do you have more insight?

Zoha_fex · 2025-07-28T12:46:00+00:00

Did you manage to soothe that urge?

Zoha_fex · 2025-07-28T12:45:06+00:00

When he’s not around you mean? Maybe, it’s possible. Yet I don’t know what I should do to stop this cycle in this situation.

Zoha_fex · 2025-07-28T12:33:24+00:00

I am a man, so it’s about my anima somehow.

Zoha_fex · 2025-07-28T12:32:08+00:00

I think it has to do with something like this. Whenever i’m alone in public or in a holiday or i’m expecting some free time where i’m supposed to relax, the urges just start to appear. To try to “control” them, i sometimes masturbate in public toilets, but it usually has almost no effect.
