Jungian Psychology - How To Stay Calm Even With Unbearable People | Carl Jung

This is a profound journey into the depth psychology of Carl Jung, offering seven crucial steps to cultivate unshakeable inner calmness even when facing the most challenging and difficult people. The script argues that true calmness is not a superficial technique but an advanced state of psychological maturity achieved by understanding the unconscious roots of our emotional reactions, particularly anger. We explore how anger signals the awakening of an unconscious "complex"—an old wound or fear—that is being triggered, making us lose our center and react from a place of injury rather than clarity. The path to inner peace, as outlined here, involves deep self-work: engaging in shadow work through genuine forgiveness to liberate the self from past emotional burdens, establishing a powerful life purpose to act as a stabilizing "Self's Compass" against external chaos, and deliberately choosing higher emotional frequencies like yêu and gratitude. The discussion also details practical psychological defenses, such as setting firm personal boundaries to shield one's energy from toxicity, and employing somatic methods like conscious breathing to soothe an overstimulated nervous system. Finally, we adopt the symbolic lens, viewing difficult people not as enemies, but as mirrors reflecting unintegrated parts of the self, transforming confrontation into an opportunity for self-understanding and lasting tranquility.
