sensation

Definition:

Sensation is one of Jung’s four psychological functions, focusing on direct, concrete experiences of the physical world. It emphasises tangible details and practical realities, providing a grounding influence in the psyche.

Example:

Exploring the sensation function helps clients connect with the present and address tendencies to over-rely on abstract thinking or emotion. For example, engaging in mindfulness exercises can strengthen the sensation function.
