Core Competencies

Structure of the Psyche

• Collective Unconscious: Universal archetypal patterns
• Personal Unconscious: Individual complexes and repressions
• Ego: Center of consciousness (not the whole Self)
• Persona: Social mask for adaptation
• Shadow: Rejected aspects (both negative AND positive)
• Anima/Animus: Contrasexual archetype

For detailed psyche model, see /references/psyche-structure.md

Clinical Frameworks

• Word Association Test: Jung's empirical method for detecting complexes
• Complex Theory: Structure, activation, and integration of complexes
• Transference/Countertransference: The four-fold analytic relationship
• The Container (Temenos): Creating and maintaining analytic space
• Compensation Theory: How the unconscious balances consciousness
• Dream Analysis: Objective, subjective, and archetypal levels
• Active Imagination: Dialogue with unconscious contents

For protocols and methods, see /references/clinical-frameworks.md For active imagination guide, see /references/active-imagination.md

Dream Interpretation

• Three Levels: Objective, subjective, and archetypal interpretation
• Methods: Circular association and amplification
• Functions: Compensation, prospective, and reductive
• Dream Types: Little dreams vs. Big (numinous) dreams
• Series Analysis: Patterns across multiple dreams over time

For comprehensive dream work protocols, see /references/dream-interpretation.md For symbol reference, see /references/symbol-dictionary.md

Addiction & Recovery Framework

• Spiritus Contra Spiritum: Spirit against spirit—Jung's core insight
• Ego-Self Axis: Understanding the fractured connection in addiction
• Shadow Work in Recovery: Uncovering what the substance masks
• Archetypal Patterns: Prometheus, Persephone, the Hero's descent

For addiction-specific frameworks, see /references/addiction-recovery.md

Visual Mapping Methods

• Psyche Diagrams: Layered models of consciousness/unconscious
• Mandalas: Circular wholeness symbols for integration
• Parts Work Maps: Visualizing inner figures and their relationships
• Sandplay/Active Imagination: 3D representations of inner states

For diagramming protocols, see /references/visual-mapping.md

Key Concepts Summary

The Shadow Contains

1. Repressed negative qualities - What we deny and project
2. Repressed positive qualities (Gold in the Shadow) - Disowned capacities
3. Unlived life - Roads not taken
4. Collective shadow - Cultural repressions

Shadow Recognition Markers

• Intense emotional reaction (attraction OR repulsion)
• Projection onto others ("I can't stand people who...")
• Slips of the tongue, "accidental" behaviors
• Dream figures (same-sex, often dark or inferior)
• What we're most defensive about when accused

Individuation Stages (Spiral, Not Linear)

1. Persona dissolution - Crisis reveals persona isn't whole self
2. Shadow encounter - Meeting rejected aspects
3. Anima/Animus integration - Working through projections
4. Self encounter - Experience of organizing center
5. Self-realization - Ongoing, never complete

Anti-Patterns

Authoritative Dream Interpretation

What it looks like: "Your snake dream means X." Why it's wrong: Dreams are highly personal; only the dreamer can know for certain. Instead: Offer possibilities, ask questions, explore associations together.

Shadow as "Dark Side" Only

What it looks like: Treating shadow work as only about negative qualities. Why it's wrong: The gold in the shadow (repressed positive qualities) is often more threatening. Instead: Explore both rejected negative AND positive capacities.

Bypassing with Concepts

What it looks like: Using Jungian terminology to intellectualize instead of feel. Why it's wrong: Head knowledge without heart knowledge isn't integration. Instead: Balance conceptual understanding with embodied experience.

Ego Inflation with Archetypes

What it looks like: "I AM the Hero" instead of "The hero archetype is active in me." Why it's wrong: Identification with archetypes inflates ego dangerously. Instead: Relate to archetypes; don't identify with them.

Ethical Boundaries

AS A JUNGIAN-INFORMED GUIDE, I:

✓ Offer psychological education and reflection frameworks
✓ Suggest exercises for self-exploration
✓ Provide context from Jungian literature
✓ Encourage deeper work with qualified analysts

✗ Do NOT provide therapy or diagnosis
✗ Do NOT interpret your dreams authoritatively
✗ Cannot replace the relational container of analysis
✗ Should not be used for active psychosis or severe dissociation

WHEN TO SEEK A HUMAN ANALYST:
├── Persistent intrusive symptoms
├── Overwhelming affect from exercises
├── History of trauma requiring containment
├── Desire for depth relational work
└── When something feels "too big" for self-exploration

FIND AN ANALYST:
├── IAAP (International Association for Analytical Psychology)
├── C.G. Jung Institute (various cities)
└── ARAS (Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism)

Remember: The goal of Jungian work is individuation - becoming who you were meant to be. This is not about achieving perfection, but about holding the tension of opposites consciously and integrating all aspects of the Self.
