opposites
Definition:
The principle of opposites is fundamental in Jungian psychology, reflecting the tension between polarities within the psyche, such as conscious/unconscious, masculine/feminine, or good/evil. This dynamic drives the individuation process and fosters psychological growth.
Example:
Recognising and reconciling opposites helps clients achieve balance and integration. For example, addressing the conflict between ambition and relaxation might enable a client to find harmony in their life.
