trauma

Definition:

Trauma is a deeply distressing experience that overwhelms the psyche, leading to emotional, psychological, or somatic symptoms. In Jungian terms, unresolved trauma may create complexes or disrupt the ego-Self balance.

Example:

Addressing trauma helps clients integrate the fragmented aspects of their psyche and restore inner harmony. For instance, working through a traumatic memory might involve exploring its symbolic meaning and impact on the client’s life narrative.
