Affect & Emotions

Find my work on Linktree: https://linktr.ee/cgjunghelpdesk

“Therefore people are usually afraid of the unconscious because it brings up emotions, and they don't want emotions; it is immoral, one should not have them. Sure enough it is immoral if you consider other people, and you ought to consider other people. Yet if you repress your emotions, you can never get at them to purify them.”

What is it that moves people? In antiquity our emotions were personified by the gods. It was the gods that made fall people in love or in rage. You beg the gods for mercy or ask them for their help. Still today emotions are feared and loved the gods, but what do they do to us? Jung explored this topic through out his life to answer this question.

This event will consist of two parts:
1. A presentation part by me (ca. 45 minutes), where elaborate on Jung’s ideas about the topic for the event using quotes from his whole body of work
2. A discussion part about the just presented topic, Jungian ideas or anything interesting that might come up
