psychoid unconscious

Definition:

The psychoid unconscious is a concept describing the deepest layer of the unconscious, where the psyche and matter intersect. It represents the non-personal aspects of the unconscious that influence both psychological and biological processes.

Example:

Exploring psychoid material through symbolic work or somatic therapy can provide insights into the connections between body and psyche. For example, physical symptoms might reflect archetypal conflicts originating in the psychoid layer.
