vs 23 Anima and the Animus

Jung's theory of "Anima" and "Animus". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Anima archetype is the female image of the male mind, and the Animus is the male image of the female mind.

After carefully understanding the "mother's breath", you may have a doubt.

That is, the "mother's breath" cannot always be secure; Fathers don't have to be irritable and fierce all the time, but they also have a gentle side.

Sometimes mothers convey something negative, negative to their children; They will even scold and hurt children.

So what to do?

If such a question is also reasonable, it means that it is looking at the problem comprehensively.

But just understand the above concept, and the problem is solved.

Because the mother also has a masculine side in her heart, she sometimes gets angry with her children, even invisibly hurts.

Therefore, the "mother's breath" refers to the purely feminine part other than the "Animus". (Mainly refers to the mother's motherhood)

It is still a sense of security that is eternally present.

This is also why, when the "idol" status in the patient's heart suddenly changes, he will feel the complete collapse of his spiritual support.

It's because he doesn't know the Anima and Animus components in the "idol".

It is also the same essence: he has not found the most primitive "mother's breath and security".

Take the Neimus' negativity and irritability as all.

The image point says that the mother may also compromise with the person who violates her, absorbing the destructive and bad personality of the abuser, forming self-sabotage and negative emotions.

Therefore, patients with mental illness always aspire to become a mentor or guru to guide other patients on how to recover their health after they have improved.

Because he had faced very human difficulties: on the one hand, he had to fight against the people who violated him and his mother; On the other hand, it is necessary to help the mother who has a compromised personality and help her overcome the bad hints and negativity of the outside world.

Maybe that's not too specific to say.

Then the following example may be a more intuitive and true interpretation of this theory.

When a depressed or sentimental boy listens to his mother's or lover's grievances, he is very likely to empathize with him, triggering his depression.

At this time, he will lose all resistance, and all positive and optimistic emotions seem to have disappeared and cannot be mobilized; Thinking is stuck in the abyss of depression.

He can't come out of the depression unless his mother or lover brings on the happy side again.

Only anesthesia and escape can be sought.

This is why patients always compromise with the outside world.

It is to rely on the contact with the outside world and divert the face of the dark side of the mother.

However, there is a way, or memory, to be able to maintain optimism in the face of the grief of a loved one.

This method is to divide the grief of a loved one into two - to think of the happiness of the loved one as the mother, and the event or person that causes the grief of the loved one as the father or other male.

At this time, just focus on the happiness of your loved ones, because that is true motherhood.

Then, confront the negative cues of "paternality" that cause the mother's grief.

As a result, we will return to the "hazy sense of security" mentioned above.

Then, the natural curiosity and exploration of the outside world, and the normal resistance, began to revive again.

He will ignite the motivation and courage of the source in an instant, and work with his mother to dispel the gloom, instead of empathizing, but doing nothing.

No amount of negative hints could affect his mood.

This optimism is a qualitative breakthrough and does not have any incentive or willpower.

It is also by no means different from patients who often think that their anxiety is completely gone, but it is actually a numb psychology.
