instinct
Definition:
Instincts in Jungian terms are innate, unconscious drives that govern behaviour, emotions, and survival mechanisms. They are closely linked to archetypes and form the biological foundation of the psyche, influencing both personal and collective experiences.
Example:
Understanding instincts helps clients align with their natural drives while addressing conflicts between instinctual urges and societal expectations. For instance, exploring a suppressed instinct for creativity might unlock latent potential.
