Unconscious Drives

The unconscious mind is a repository of repressed memories, unresolved emotions and instincts—universal symbols and patterns that influence human behavior. These elements operate autonomously, often dictating decisions, reactions, and recurring life patterns without our conscious realization.

• Impact: For instance, you might repeatedly enter toxic relationships or pursue unfulfilling careers without understanding why.
• Archetypes: Jung’s concept of archetypes—such as the Shadow (repressed traits) or the Anima/Animus (inner feminine/masculine)—illustrates how unconscious forces shape our choices.
