Release your full potential: Genome VS Complexes

[@theimaginarium]

Excellent video. I especially like the importance you place on the genome. Much of my work is trying to bring back the genome into psychology where it belongs. Keep up the amazing work.

[@JungToLiveBy]

Thank you Dr Goodwyn. Your work continues to be an inspiration to our students. Kindest Regards, Steve and Pauline🙏

[@theimaginarium]

@@JungToLiveBy my pleasure. I just wish I had discovered your work sooner! Looking forward to more content--pure gold.

[@JungToLiveBy]

Dr Goodwyn, likewise we wish we had, had the opportunity to work with such a progressive, enlightened and humanistic Psychiatrist, such as yourself, who is firmly in the New Wave of Jungian and psychodynamic theory and practice, ready for the 21st Century reframe of Depth Psychology with Biology, that is revolutionising Psychotherapy. Kindest Regards, Steve and Pauline🙏

The part about thanking the Psyche for the signal and asking it politely what you need to do is gold!

[@JungToLiveBy]

Cheers, John. It’s real-world empiricism. Thanks for your support. Kindest Regards, Steve and Pauline🙏

[@VitalFrontiers]

The symptoms are a signal for action, and in action you'll find adaptation and resolution. To acknowledge this is to acknowledge the massive intelligence of the unconscious, something beyond what we could fully understand but a part of us that seeks health and homeostasis. Great seminar!

It's fascinating how the more someone engages with the theory and goes further on the path of self-development, the more the theory can be felt as a vibrant, living part of one's experience! This doesn't happen with any other school.

[@JungToLiveBy]

Thanks for your kind words, Respect to You, and for Your Journey, Blessings, Steve🙏

[@aidanocp]

Unparalleled material!

[@JungToLiveBy]

Thanks, Adon, that’s very much appreciated. Kindest Regards, Steve and Pauline🙏

[@nathanwilliams-prince3127]

An excellent overview of how complexes form, and how they can conflict with and cause the repression of instincts and affect. Another highlight for me was the idea that optimal self-preservation is to be optimally adapted with minimal distress. That's what the genome and the instincts want, for sure. Great video!

[@JungToLiveBy]

Blessings Nathan, Respect to You, and for Your Journey. Kindest Regards, Steve🙏

[@TrinityForceOne]

I'll have to watch this one more than once. Something that was said inspired some anxiety in me. Fascinating

[@JungToLiveBy]

Thanks Banal, I’ve no doubt you’ll work that out, as you always do. Kindest Regards, Steve🙏

[@jakeford8916]

As a student, I've found nowhere else that is offering this level of education in depth psychology and clinical training for working with others. It's experiential for your own personal development and opens so many doors both within and without. Great seminar as always!

[@JungToLiveBy]

Cheers Jake, you’ve been a great student, showing exemplary dedication to both learning theory and practical skills. Everything is down to character and calling. Respect, Steve🙏

[@danielapanks]

Creating a counter complex that supports our self regulating principle of optimal psychobiological and psychosocial adaptation is so genius. Reconnecting with our instinct by receiving the signal our body provides, saying thank you, and feeling into that, is fundamental in synthesizing our futures in a way that is complimentary to the downstream intention of our genome. It is not an easy task when the ego is weak, and maladaptive complexes are strong. A trance state can certainly help if needed. “Know thyself”, and your personal myth, is that which will strengthen it. This video is pure alchemical gold. 🙏🏼 thank you

[@agentmysterian1461]

the thing about the therapy world being an bad place sadly seems true from what I heard (and own experience). Yesterday I spoke to a friend of mine who has been struggling with her mental health for a long time now and she told me several problematic stories about therapists encouraging "inner child work" (she told me that made her even more depressed), telling her she has a lot of issues and its gonna take a long time for her to heal, or therapists straight up wanting to put her on drugs against her will and wanting to send her to a psychiatry. Luckily she never stayed with one for long.

[@JungToLiveBy]

Hi Agent, so sorry your friend has been so abusively treated. Please send her our thoughts. Kindest Regards, Steve and Pauline🙏

[@VavrinnD7]

Perfect timing 🙏

[@JungToLiveBy]

Cheers, Vasuman, Kindest Regards, Steve and Pauline🙏

[@sarahe.8639]

A very timely video, thanks for sharing it from an IPSA training seminar! This relates very closely to information included in the Personal Myth handbook that I was reading just last night. It also landed perfectly on the day I got my referral to see a respiratory specialist to start with my biology and work from there, rather than viewing my breathing difficulties psycho-reductively as was discussed awhile back.

[@JungToLiveBy]

Blessings Sarah, our very best wishes to you. Please update us on your progress, Kindest Regards, Steve and Pauline 🙏

[@martinhandy7520]

One of the best so far!

[@JungToLiveBy]

Cheers Martin, that’s very much appreciated by us. Kindest Regards, Steve and Pauline 🙏

[@ernestberry-songsrestored5637]

Excellent. Thank you. Many of my own thoughts and questions were expressed here in a synchronic way. I’m studying as a counsellor and though I understand it’s value through experience I have many questions regarding its utility. I also work in a secure mental health hospital and am very much aware of effects of trauma and the difficulty in treating it. I am so pleased to have found a voice and mirror here for many of my beliefs , enquiries and intuitions. The way in which you are open to multiple disciplines but are not ego attached to the point of arrogance is greatly appreciated. I have always felt that a truly holistic view of mental health is the only way forwards but have never found this put to practice until discovering your work. I would very much like to study with you at some point. I wish I was in the financial position but that will come I’m sure .in the meantime I look forwards to checking out more of you content .

[@JungToLiveBy]

Huge thanks, Ernest, Respect to You, and for Your Journey. Reach out anytime. Kindest Regards, Steve🙏

[@alexbalint8718]

The metaphor for complexes resonates deeply, it helped resolve some contradictions I had. It makes more sense to see it in terms of teleology, in a way, it 'works' for the Ego, as long as the Ego is in conflict (and cannot find out). I also tried to 'trick' anxiety by considering it state-dependent and try and change the affect in those situations - but that itself is a lid of fear! Would have liked to hear more on counter-complexes, I can intuit that but not fully. Also, thanks for the honest discussion of therapy. I myself have found that apparently 'naïve' therapists can often bring about more positive change than highly trained 'unconditional regard' therapists, which generate loops. Many thanks for this quality content, as always, Steve and Pauline.

[@JungToLiveBy]

Blessings Alex, there will be more very soon, kindest Regards, Steve and Paulkne🙏

[@Avalon_Silver]

Thanks Team for this video being made available to the public. I'm gonna have to re-watch it a few times - so much info to unpack, and brilliantly delivered.

I think one thing this video demonstrates is how important it is for parents to acknowledge the emotional experiences of their children and build ego strength by teaching children from a young age in an appropriate manner how to accept signals from the unconscious, that "bad feelings" are really there to help us. Some general insight I got from working on myself and realising how I dealt with things is that young children's egos are still developing and cannot understand and deal with certain emotional and instinctive internal conflicts in any other way except by suppression and repression (developing a complex to deal with it and forgetting about it). I think essentially that is one of the main problems with both emotionally neglectful parenting and overprotection because, though they are very different, they both essentially disrespect the child's psyche in different ways, undermining the capacity for the child to gradually build ego strength! Emotional neglect ignores and disregards the child's affective needs while overprotection tries to smother the affect and make the "bad feelings" go away, both leading to problems later on in adolescence and adulthood with regards to biopsychosocial adaptation. I personally think school systems in general need a drastic shift from an overt focus on cognitive and intellectual academic achievement, which itself causes unnecessary distress at times, to a healthier balance between rational academic intellect and "emotional education".

[@JungToLiveBy]

Hi Kyle, that's a very good analysis, thank you for sharing here. I agree.... Kindest Regards, Steve🙏

I'd love to understand what a "counter-complex" might look like ? Can you give one small, simple example please? Thank you. I received my copy of the personal myth. Love it. 🙂

[@JungToLiveBy]

Blessings Fiona, there’s a part two to this video coming out next week. We can certainly look more at Counter/Complexes specifically. Kindest Regards, Steve🙏

[@fionaparker6803]

@@JungToLiveBy Thank you so much Steve. It really is astounding how clear, and accessible you make this for just us ordinary people, and how generous you all are, with these videos. I've been able, because of things I've bought from you guys, and also because of these videos, to understand myself so much better, and feel like I have a "map" This week. I was journalling about something, reflecting, on my dad, who died when I was 16. I'm 51. It was quite intense. The polarities. Like one side vicious. One side collapse/fearful. I kind of just let it all unravel, and exhaust itself. Weirdly. I then had this inner "no" Just a very quiet, peaceful, solid, "no Fiona" It felt very similar to loving firm boundaries with my daughter, when she was young. The this video came up. And I wondered. Whether this, is an example, of a "counter complex" I really look forward to the next video. Thank you, Steve, Pauline, and James.

So if I want to start on my individuation journey and unlock who I really am, should I start with the Personal Myth Guide first or should I get the hypnotherapy guide? Or would it be useful to use both at the same time?

Is it possible that we all have a destined path which is straight and narrow but there are experiences that make the way crooked and sometimes treacherous; plus, free will mucks up the process of traveling smoothly on that path of destiny? And is it possible that destiny is no more than the fullest, healthiest, most vibrant, thriving form of our genome? Is this the Self that Jung wrote about?

[@JungToLiveBy]

Hi Amber, yes, in our experience, it is. Respect and Kindest Regards, Steve and Pauline🙏

[@enzofrancescoli1260]

I've been suppresing my sexuality because I've been raised in an environment where sex was a tabu subject. Developed as a hyperrational, cold, avoidant, anxious person who hates women. The psychosomatic stress was huge in the last 2 years. I'm currently seeing a therapist but I still feel very afraid of sex and women.

Hi James, Steve, Pauline. I am really drawn to your work to help me on my journey of individuation. However while watching your content I feel I get lost in the theory and am really struggling to relate to it in a practical sense. I feel frustrated and the frustration leads me to putting it aside, as it overwhelms me and I’m unable to continue studying. Is there any advice you can give me to deal with that? Thanks for all that you do!

[@JungToLiveBy]

Hi @theartofseeing4422, if you’re interested in understanding the theory, and learning from people who have put it into practice, you could always join our Discord Server, which is a community of very friendly and supportive peers who share their ongoing development and understanding. The team post there everyday and you would have the opportunity to privately message us too. Kindest Regards, Steve🙏

Does hypnotherapy have to be done on an individual basis? Is it possible to experience hypnotherapy via the zoom consultation offered on patreon? Do you have general resources for videos/meditations that can induce hypnosis? (I'm aware that you have a hypnotherapy workshop on gumroad that I will check out)
