30. The Basic Map of the Psyche Personal Unconscious

31. Personal Unconscious The part of our unconscious that we access mostly. Personal unconscious is unique and mostly personal to each of us. Whereas the Collective unconscious (the next level) is shared by all humankind. This level contains complexes Complexes are clusters of feelings associated around a common theme.

32. The Money Complex Within childhood we all become aware of what notes and coins are. We hear our parents speak about money for example: “Money doesn't grow on trees!” “Were not made of money!” “Money doesn’t grow on trees!” Later on we realise that things can be purchased with it: sweets maybe toys... Or if we want a particular toy, it may be denied to us because its too expensive.

34. National Insurance

35. Banks

36. Savings

37. Interest rates and so on...When we eventually leave school we realise that we have to earn more money and work a lot harder to save for the things we want. For example: Our first car, home or savings. All of these cluster together to create and form a complex........

38. The Money Complex

39. When we become triggered by a specific thought or signal we become complexed out! The EGO takes a beating for the complex and suffers a reduced ability. Our normal personality disappears as it pushes our buttons!

40. JUNG SAID..... “Everyone knows nowadays that people will have complexes. What is not so well known, through far more important theoretically that complexes can have us!”

41. Collective Unconscious

42. The collective unconscious.... Deep unconscious level and one that can not be directly experienced like complexes. This layer is common to all humankind. Some doubt the existence of this can it can be proved through the psyches symbol producing capacity.

43. COLLECTIVE UNCONCIOUS We are all born with a general blueprint to our bodies. We never question this element of the world To Jung we were more that simple tool makers. How better to prove this than through the symbols that humankind has created and passed through the ages. ADVERTS TRAFFIC SIGNS RELIGION All of these symbolic images are Archetypes

44. The inherent part of the psyche, structuring patterns of psychological performance linked to instinct. A hypothetical entity representilbe in itself and evident only through its manifestations.

46. We can never experience the archetype image not the Archetype.

47. Like the rest of this course its metaphysical!

48. We hold many archetype within our collective unconscious and we experience them through the symbols of the world.

49. And best of all, at night we dream and re-call these symbols and images.

50. The Body

51. The Basic Map of the Psyche Body

53. Within analytical psychology there no distinction between the two.

54. The body works to serve the expressions of the Psyche through a process called Somatisation.

55. Somatisation: To make physical which is psychological.

56. We experience somatisation during times of distress: Flight or fight feelings

57. Waking from a nightmare

58. This can occur the other way around when the body makes the psyche feel or sense something. It tells us something physical has occurred and the psychic needs to resonate with it.

59. EG: PTSD
