Most people think explaining themselves is polite, even kind. But Carl Jung revealed that compulsive self-justification is not empathy — it’s self-abandonment. When you explain too much, you hand over your inner authority, trading authenticity for approval. This video explores Jung’s warning: silence is not weakness. Silence is presence. The moment you stop over-explaining, you reclaim your soul from endless small betrayals — the fake smile, the swallowed anger, the quiet “yes” that meant “no.” Jung called these substitutions for real suffering neurosis. By daring to stop explaining, you will: Discover the power of presence without justification. See how silence filters relationships and reveals who truly respects you. Reclaim the inner child who was taught to shrink, apologize, and disappear. Experience individuation — Jung’s path to wholeness, where you live without needing others to validate your worth. ✨ Silence is not the absence of love. It’s the beginning of self-respect. 👉 If you resonate, subscribe to / @lightthroughshadows and join us in exploring the depth psychology of Carl Jung, healing, and awakening. #CarlJung #Silence #SelfDiscovery #Psychology #Healing
