energy

Definition:

In Jungian psychology, energy refers to the libido, which is the psychic force that drives psychological activities, desires, and growth. Unlike Freud’s focus on sexual energy, Jung viewed libido as a generalised life energy that fuels both conscious and unconscious processes.

Example:

Exploring how energy flows within the psyche helps clients identify areas of stagnation or overinvestment, enabling them to redirect energy toward more fulfilling pursuits. For example, addressing blocked energy might involve working through repressed emotions or unfulfilled aspirations.
