regression
Definition:
Regression is the return to earlier stages of psychological development, often triggered by stress or unresolved conflicts. While it can represent a defensive retreat, Jung also viewed it as an opportunity to revisit and integrate neglected aspects of the psyche.
Example:
Exploring regression helps clients uncover and address past traumas or unintegrated elements. For example, revisiting childhood fears in therapy might lead to greater self-understanding and resilience.
