"自分の中に抑圧された感情状態を感じ取り、それを元型的イメージの意味的影響に一致するスタイルで言語化できる個人は、統合力のバランスを無意識から自我へと移行させる。"
— Carl Jung
Simplified Meaning:
When people feel overwhelmed by emotions and can describe their feelings clearly using familiar stories or symbols, they gain control over these emotions instead of being controlled by them. Imagine you're feeling very sad and don't understand why. If you can talk about your sadness by comparing it to a dark cloud that's blocking the sun, you're making sense of it using a simple image. By doing this, you start to understand your feelings better and manage them. Think of a famous artist who paints their emotions. They take what's confusing inside their mind and put it into a form everyone can see and understand. By expressing their feelings this way, they lessen the hold these emotions have over them. So, when you're feeling strong emotions, try to explain them in a way that makes sense to you. Doing this can help you feel more in control and balanced.
