00:00:06
Do you think you know the people around
00:00:07
you? You believe you can identify when
00:00:10
someone is toxic, when an energy is
00:00:13
heavy, when a behavior crosses the line
00:00:15
of what is acceptable. But what if I
00:00:18
told you that the real dangers are not
00:00:20
obvious? That the most destructive
00:00:22
people are often charming, kind, even
00:00:25
family members. And that while you try
00:00:27
to protect yourself from the obvious
00:00:29
villains, you are opening the doors of
00:00:31
your mind to something infinitely more
00:00:34
dangerous, the unconscious of others
00:00:37
invading your own. Carl Gustavong
00:00:40
dedicated his life to studying these
00:00:42
hidden dynamics. In his work, the ego
00:00:46
and the unconscious, he reveals that
00:00:49
most of what truly governs us is not
00:00:51
under our conscious control. This
00:00:53
applies not just to you. It applies to
00:00:57
everyone. And that is precisely where
00:00:59
the danger lies. Because when someone is
00:01:02
blind to their own darkness, that shadow
00:01:05
seeks a host. And often that host is
00:01:09
you. Perhaps you have never stopped to
00:01:11
think about this. But think now. How
00:01:15
many times have you felt emotionally
00:01:17
drained after talking to someone? How
00:01:19
many times have you been blamed for
00:01:21
something you didn't do or treated as
00:01:24
the savior of a tragedy that wasn't even
00:01:26
yours? Jung called this
00:01:29
projection an unconscious mechanism
00:01:32
where the other projects onto you what
00:01:34
they refuse to see in
00:01:36
themselves. From that moment on, you
00:01:38
cease to be a person and become a
00:01:41
symbol, a mirror, an imaginary enemy, an
00:01:45
idealized hero. And all these images
00:01:49
have something in common. None of them
00:01:51
is truly
00:01:53
you. But the most frightening part is
00:01:56
that often you don't even realize you
00:01:58
are in this game. You think you are
00:02:01
helping, that you are being empathetic,
00:02:04
that you are being mature.
00:02:07
Meanwhile, you are sinking into a
00:02:09
psychological field that is not yours,
00:02:12
trying to resolve conflicts that are not
00:02:15
yours, being manipulated by dynamics
00:02:18
that were not created by you, but now
00:02:21
control you. And it's not just about
00:02:24
ill-intentioned
00:02:25
people. Jung made it clear, the greatest
00:02:29
dangers do not come from conscious
00:02:30
perverts, but from unintegrated,
00:02:33
unconscious ones. They are those who
00:02:36
live alienated from their own psyche,
00:02:39
dominated by masks, traumas, complexes,
00:02:42
and repressed desires. They are not
00:02:45
evil. They are dangerous. And this
00:02:48
danger is silent. It doesn't come in
00:02:50
through the front door. It infiltrates
00:02:54
slowly,
00:02:55
daily through small comments, veiled
00:02:58
accusations, loaded
00:03:00
silences until you start to doubt
00:03:03
yourself. And when you lose contact with
00:03:05
your own psychic
00:03:07
reality, you become part of their
00:03:10
shadow. Perhaps you are going through
00:03:12
exactly this right now in a
00:03:15
relationship, in a friendship, in a work
00:03:17
environment, even within your own
00:03:19
family. And perhaps you are blaming
00:03:22
yourself, trying to understand what is
00:03:24
wrong with you. The answer is nothing.
00:03:28
But there is something deeply wrong with
00:03:30
the way you are being used as a vessel
00:03:32
for someone else's unconscious. In this
00:03:35
video, we will expose one by one the six
00:03:38
types of people that Yung would identify
00:03:41
as emotionally dangerous types that act
00:03:44
not with deliberate malice but with
00:03:46
internal forces they themselves do not
00:03:48
understand. And that is why they are so
00:03:51
destructive. We will use Jung's words,
00:03:54
his concepts and warnings directly from
00:03:56
his works such as Ion, the ego and the
00:03:59
unconscious and archetypes and the
00:04:01
collective unconscious to show you how
00:04:04
to recognize these profiles. But more
00:04:07
than that, we will open your eyes to the
00:04:10
possibility that perhaps, just perhaps,
00:04:12
one or more of these profiles is within
00:04:14
you as well. Are you ready? Then take a
00:04:18
deep breath and move forward. But be
00:04:20
warned, after hearing this, you will no
00:04:23
longer be able to look at people or even
00:04:25
at yourself the same
00:04:27
[Music]
00:04:29
way. Imagine living with someone who
00:04:32
blames you for everything they feel, who
00:04:35
turns your presence into a trigger, who
00:04:37
makes you feel responsible for emotions
00:04:39
you never caused. At first they seem
00:04:42
fragile, sensitive, deep, but over time
00:04:46
you realize you are being dragged into a
00:04:49
battlefield that isn't yours and where
00:04:51
you are already at a
00:04:53
disadvantage. This is the unconscious
00:04:56
manipulator. Someone who is unaware of
00:04:59
their own wounds but projects them onto
00:05:01
others as a form of psychic survival.
00:05:05
Jung said, "What we do not confront in
00:05:08
ourselves, we will encounter as
00:05:11
fate." And often this fate has a name, a
00:05:14
face, and shares the table with you. The
00:05:17
unconscious manipulator is someone
00:05:19
dominated by repressed content,
00:05:21
unintegrated traumas, unprocessed
00:05:24
emotional fragments. Instead of looking
00:05:27
inward, they aim at you and turn you
00:05:30
into a canvas for their internal
00:05:32
conflicts.
00:05:33
This type of person lives in a state of
00:05:35
chronic
00:05:36
projection. According to Yung,
00:05:39
projecting is an inevitable function of
00:05:41
the psyche, but if unrecognized, it
00:05:44
becomes
00:05:45
destructive. In the book, the ego and
00:05:48
the unconscious, he states that
00:05:50
projection causes a kind of psychic
00:05:53
blindness, a prison where the other
00:05:55
ceases to be seen as they are and
00:05:58
becomes used as a symbol of what is
00:06:00
hidden in us.
00:06:01
This is exactly what the unconscious
00:06:03
manipulator does. They do not see you.
00:06:06
They see a lost part of themselves and
00:06:09
react to it as if it were real. These
00:06:12
people often position themselves as
00:06:15
victims. Everything that happens is
00:06:18
someone else's fault, never theirs. When
00:06:21
they feel anger, it's because you
00:06:24
provoked it. When they are sad, it's
00:06:27
because you disappointed them. When they
00:06:30
feel inferior, it's because you think
00:06:33
you are
00:06:34
superior. This distortion is so subtle
00:06:37
that you start to question yourself. Was
00:06:39
I really insensitive? Did I say
00:06:42
something wrong? Am I
00:06:44
toxic? And thus, manipulation occurs
00:06:47
without a shout being heard, without a
00:06:50
direct request being made. It's all
00:06:52
emotional,
00:06:54
unconscious, and absolutely effective.
00:06:57
Worse still, often these people are
00:07:00
charming. They have charisma,
00:07:02
sensitivity, an aura of emotional
00:07:05
intensity. This creates a trap because
00:07:08
you think you can help them, heal them,
00:07:11
understand them better than others. But
00:07:13
what you are doing in practice is
00:07:16
sacrificing your psychic health, trying
00:07:18
to rescue someone who refuses to dive
00:07:21
into themselves. And the more you try,
00:07:24
the more you
00:07:25
sink. Jung warns us that these patterns
00:07:28
of projection are especially dangerous
00:07:30
because they place us in a symbolic
00:07:32
role. Savior, enemy, traitor, father,
00:07:37
mother, anything but who we really are.
00:07:40
And living in a symbolic bond is living
00:07:43
in an illusion. You cease to be seen as
00:07:46
a subject and are treated as a distorted
00:07:48
reflection of the others unconscious.
00:07:52
The only way to protect yourself from an
00:07:54
unconscious manipulator is to develop
00:07:56
awareness. Recognize the patterns. Cut
00:07:59
the invisible threads that connect you
00:08:01
to this person's emotional narrative.
00:08:04
And most importantly, constantly ask
00:08:07
yourself if what you are feeling is
00:08:08
yours or has been induced. Because the
00:08:12
unconscious manipulator does not invade
00:08:14
your life violently. They enter through
00:08:17
the gap of your empathy. And once you
00:08:20
recognize this pattern, the next step is
00:08:23
to understand how it disguises itself
00:08:25
even more deeply with the mask of the
00:08:28
persona. The one who not only projects
00:08:31
but acts lives in order to appear as
00:08:34
something they are not. In the next
00:08:37
section, we will explore the bearer of
00:08:39
the persona and how it represents one of
00:08:42
the greatest psychological risks pointed
00:08:45
out by Yung. Because while the
00:08:47
unconscious manipulator throws their
00:08:50
conflicts onto you, the bearer of the
00:08:52
persona can drag you into a world where
00:08:55
even you forget who you really are. If

00:09:06
support. Not all psychological danger
00:09:09
comes from extreme behaviors. Sometimes
00:09:12
it comes from what seems too perfect.
00:09:15
From the ever ready smile. From the
00:09:17
impeccable posture. From the flawless
00:09:20
image. We live in an era of appearances
00:09:24
where being is less important than
00:09:26
seeming. And this for Yung was a serious
00:09:29
problem because when someone identifies
00:09:32
too much with their own persona, the
00:09:34
social mask we use to adapt to the
00:09:37
world, they risk completely
00:09:39
disconnecting from their essence.
00:09:41
And those who live for the mask not only
00:09:44
lose themselves but also begin to
00:09:46
distort everyone around them. In the
00:09:50
book the ego and the unconscious, Jung
00:09:52
states that the persona is what someone
00:09:55
is not but what he and others think he
00:09:58
is. In other words, an artificial
00:10:01
construction shaped by social, familial,
00:10:04
and professional expectations. In
00:10:06
itself, the persona is not a mistake. We
00:10:10
all use it. It allows us to fulfill
00:10:12
social roles to be a doctor, teacher,
00:10:15
brother, friend. The problem begins when
00:10:17
someone believes they are only that.
00:10:19
When the mask sticks to the face and
00:10:22
everything that is spontaneous,
00:10:24
vulnerable and authentic is locked in
00:10:27
the basement of the psyche. The bearer
00:10:30
of the persona is the master of
00:10:32
functional
00:10:33
superficiality. They say what others
00:10:35
want to hear. They behave in the right
00:10:38
way. They avoid conflicts at all costs.
00:10:42
But behind the curtain of control, there
00:10:44
is a soul in ruins. Because the more
00:10:47
they sustain the image, the more they
00:10:50
suffocate the self. And this repression
00:10:52
sooner or later exacts its price. For
00:10:56
those who live with this type of person,
00:10:58
the impact is profound. You feel that
00:11:01
something is wrong. But you can't say
00:11:03
what. There is a lack of spontaneity, of
00:11:06
truth, of depth in the
00:11:09
interactions. Everything seems
00:11:12
rehearsed. And worse, the bearer of the
00:11:15
persona projects this demand for
00:11:17
perfection onto you as well. They expect
00:11:20
you to perform, to fit in, to
00:11:23
collaborate with the theater. If you
00:11:25
express something outside the script, an
00:11:28
intense emotion, a doubt, a pain, they
00:11:31
retreat, become uncomfortable, shut down
00:11:35
because everything that reminds them of
00:11:37
what is repressed within becomes
00:11:40
unbearable. Jung warned that this type
00:11:43
of identification with the persona is
00:11:45
one of the greatest threats to the
00:11:47
process of
00:11:48
individuation, the path of self-nowledge
00:11:51
and integration of the unconscious.
00:11:55
For him, the real danger begins when the
00:11:58
individual is hypnotized by the role
00:12:00
they play, believing they are what
00:12:02
others see. And that is exactly where
00:12:05
the risk lies. When someone lives only
00:12:08
to be accepted, recognized, praised.
00:12:11
They become a hostage to their own
00:12:14
facade. And everything that is genuine
00:12:16
dies suffocated behind the veneer.
00:12:19
Living with someone like this can lead
00:12:21
you to doubt your own
00:12:23
spontaneity. You start to police
00:12:25
yourself, to measure your words, to hide
00:12:28
parts of yourself that don't fit the
00:12:30
ideal narrative. Gradually, you also
00:12:33
begin to wear a mask and don't even
00:12:36
notice. Coexisting with a bearer of the
00:12:39
persona is not just artificial. It is
00:12:43
contagious. But there is something even
00:12:45
darker than that. Because when someone
00:12:48
represses what they feel, think, and
00:12:50
desire for too long, it doesn't
00:12:53
disappear. It accumulates. It ferments
00:12:56
in the unconscious until it transforms
00:12:59
into shadow. And then we enter an even
00:13:02
more dangerous territory, that of denied
00:13:05
emotions that return with explosive
00:13:07
force. In the next section, we will dive
00:13:11
into the figure of the owner of the
00:13:12
repressed shadow. The one who refuses to
00:13:15
see their own dark side until it
00:13:21
explodes. There is a type of person who
00:13:23
lives controlled, polished, restrained,
00:13:26
always correct, always moderate, always
00:13:29
polite. But behind this veneer of
00:13:32
balance lies a force about to break
00:13:34
free. Because everything they consider
00:13:37
wrong, ugly or unacceptable is simply
00:13:40
pushed down into the basement of the
00:13:42
soul. It is not overcome nor
00:13:45
transformed. It is merely repressed.
00:13:48
This is the essence of the owner of the
00:13:50
repressed shadow. Someone who tries to
00:13:53
be light all the time until the darkness
00:13:55
takes
00:13:57
control. Carl Jung dedicated a good part
00:14:00
of his work to understanding the shadow.
00:14:04
In Ion he states, "The shadow is
00:14:07
everything that the individual refuses
00:14:09
to recognize in themselves and yet
00:14:12
insists on manifesting in some way. We
00:14:15
are not talking about something
00:14:17
external. The shadow is not the evil of
00:14:19
the world. It is not the other. It is
00:14:22
not the enemy. The shadow is internal.
00:14:25
It is the hatred you do not admit to
00:14:27
feeling. It is the envy you rationalize.
00:14:30
It is the sexuality you repress. It is
00:14:33
the ambition you disguise as humility.
00:14:36
Everything you reject in yourself does
00:14:38
not disappear. It transforms into
00:14:41
shadow. And as Yung taught, what you do
00:14:44
not make conscious directs your life,
00:14:47
and you call it
00:14:49
destiny. The owner of the repressed
00:14:51
shadow does not seem dangerous at first
00:14:53
glance. On the contrary, often they are
00:14:57
someone admired, disciplined, kind,
00:15:00
helpful. But there is something strange.
00:15:03
They do not tolerate weakness in others.
00:15:06
They react poorly to spontaneity. They
00:15:09
are bothered by intense emotions. They
00:15:11
always seem charged but never explode.
00:15:14
Until they do. And when that happens, it
00:15:17
is devastating. This person lives in
00:15:19
constant emotional vigilance. They do
00:15:22
not allow themselves to feel and for
00:15:24
that reason they condemn those who do.
00:15:27
They do not allow themselves to heir and
00:15:30
for that reason they attack those who
00:15:32
do. They become moralistic, demanding,
00:15:37
controlling. But all of this is just an
00:15:39
attempt to keep the unconscious under
00:15:42
control. Yung was clear, the stronger
00:15:45
the persona, the more repressed the
00:15:48
shadow. And the more repressed the
00:15:50
shadow, the more brutal its
00:15:52
manifestation will be. You can identify
00:15:55
this pattern in people who have
00:15:57
disproportionate reactions, who explode
00:16:00
over small things, who hold grudges for
00:16:03
years, who sabotage relationships in a
00:16:06
passive aggressive manner. They are the
00:16:09
famous difficult people whom no one
00:16:11
understands why they are so bitter, so
00:16:14
resentful, so critical. The answer lies
00:16:17
in the shadow, unintegrated,
00:16:20
unrecognized, unaccepted. And here is
00:16:23
the most important point. The shadow is
00:16:26
not just made of bad things. Yung made
00:16:28
it clear that it also contains your
00:16:31
denied potential, your repressed
00:16:33
creativity, your hidden strength. But
00:16:36
when the shadow is ignored, all of this
00:16:38
turns into poison. And this poison
00:16:41
contaminates the relationship, the
00:16:43
environment, and especially those who
00:16:45
are closest.
00:16:47
Living with the owner of the repressed
00:16:49
shadow is like living next to an
00:16:51
emotional
00:16:52
minefield. You never know where you are
00:16:54
stepping until you are hit. But this
00:16:58
repression does not arise from nowhere.
00:17:02
Often it is fed by an illusion of
00:17:04
superiority by a rigid moral ideal that
00:17:07
turns guilt into a tool of
00:17:10
control. This is where we enter the
00:17:12
figure of the next type, the moral
00:17:15
controller. someone who not only
00:17:17
represses their own desires but makes
00:17:20
you feel guilty for living yours. In the
00:17:23
next part, we will unmask this type that
00:17:26
Yung saw as one of the greatest
00:17:29
obstacles to psychic freedom. The
00:17:31
guardian of virtue who deep down hides
00:17:34
their own
00:17:37
demons. Not every executioner carries a
00:17:40
sword. Some use crosses, rules, dogmas,
00:17:44
and ready-made phrases. They are those
00:17:47
who claim to be driven by ethics,
00:17:49
righteousness, and morality. But deep
00:17:52
down, they are imprisoning themselves
00:17:54
and others within a cage made of guilt
00:17:56
and shame. Jung was well aware of this
00:17:59
archetype. For him, when morality is
00:18:02
used as a facade, it becomes one of the
00:18:04
most insidious forms of psychic
00:18:07
repression. This is the case of the
00:18:09
moral controller. Someone who instead of
00:18:12
integrating their shadow projects it
00:18:15
onto the behavior of others and condemns
00:18:17
them for what they do not accept in
00:18:20
themselves. You have certainly met
00:18:22
someone like this. People who frequently
00:18:24
point fingers but never look inward. Who
00:18:28
position themselves as a reference for
00:18:30
behavior not because they truly are but
00:18:33
because they desperately need to
00:18:34
maintain an image of moral superiority.
00:18:37
According to Yung, the greater the
00:18:40
repression, the more intense the need to
00:18:42
project the shadow. And that is exactly
00:18:46
what the moral controller does.
00:18:48
Transforms others into sinners,
00:18:50
deviants, immoral to avoid facing their
00:18:53
own desires, impulses, and
00:18:56
contradictions. The problem is that
00:18:59
unlike a common emotional manipulator,
00:19:01
the moral controller believes they are
00:19:03
doing good. They genuinely think they
00:19:06
are correcting, saving or educating the
00:19:09
other. And this makes their influence
00:19:12
even more toxic because it is cloaked in
00:19:14
authority, good intentions, and false
00:19:18
spirituality. The criticism comes
00:19:20
accompanied by phrases like, "It's for
00:19:23
your own good. You'll thank me later."
00:19:26
Or, "Someone needs to tell you the
00:19:28
truth." But this truth is not neutral.
00:19:32
It is laden with
00:19:34
projection. In the book Ion Jung
00:19:37
extensively discusses the figure of
00:19:39
Christ and the antichrist as archetypes
00:19:42
of wholeness and
00:19:44
dissociation. The moral controller
00:19:46
believes they are embodying the light
00:19:49
but completely ignores their own
00:19:52
darkness. They project evil onto others
00:19:55
to maintain the illusion of purity
00:19:57
within themselves. And this makes them
00:20:00
blind, dangerous, unable to see the
00:20:03
nuances of the human soul. If you live
00:20:06
close to someone like this, you may
00:20:08
start to feel constantly guilty, as if
00:20:12
you are always wrong. Even when you are
00:20:14
just living, you feel watched, judged,
00:20:18
diminished. And the most perverse thing
00:20:20
is that often you internalize this
00:20:23
judgment. You begin to repress parts of
00:20:26
yourself that are natural, human,
00:20:29
spontaneous, and mold yourself to an
00:20:31
ideal that is not yours. The morality of
00:20:35
the other becomes your prison. This
00:20:38
dynamic is common in families,
00:20:40
religions, and rigid environments where
00:20:42
obedience is confused with virtue. Jung
00:20:46
saw this pattern as a real threat to the
00:20:48
process of
00:20:49
individuation. For where there is
00:20:51
excessive moralism, there is an absence
00:20:54
of self-nowledge. The extreme moralist
00:20:57
does not want truth, they want control.
00:21:00
And when they cannot control the
00:21:01
external world, they begin to control
00:21:04
the internal world of those around them.
00:21:07
But the moral controller is not the only
00:21:09
one guided by unconscious forces. There
00:21:12
is another type that is even more
00:21:14
volatile, unstable and unpredictable,
00:21:17
the complexed. While the moralist
00:21:20
represses and projects, the complexed
00:21:22
individual is completely dominated by
00:21:25
unconscious contents and reacts from
00:21:28
them like an emotional
00:21:31
puppet. In the next part, we will dive
00:21:34
into this explosive territory where
00:21:36
consciousness loses control and traumas
00:21:39
take the wheel of the psyche. Prepare to
00:21:42
encounter the type of person who can
00:21:44
embrace you today and destroy you
00:21:46
tomorrow without even knowing why. If
00:21:50
what you're hearing resonates with you,
00:21:52
you'll find real value in my ebook,
00:21:54
Beyond the Shadow. It breaks down Yung's
00:21:57
core ideas and gives you tools to
00:21:59
understand yourself more deeply. Link is
00:22:02

00:22:04
comment.
00:22:06
Imagine living with someone who at one
00:22:09
moment is sweet, affectionate, generous,
00:22:13
and in the next moment explodes in
00:22:15
anger, shuts down in silence, or accuses
00:22:18
you of something that never crossed your
00:22:21
mind. A compliment turns into a demand.
00:22:24
A joke becomes aggression. A gesture of
00:22:28
affection is interpreted as a threat. No
00:22:31
matter what you do, it seems you are
00:22:34
always treading on unstable ground. This
00:22:37
is the experience of those who live
00:22:38
alongside a person dominated by
00:22:41
unconscious
00:22:43
complexes. The complex for Yung
00:22:46
complexes are autonomous nuclei of
00:22:49
emotion and memory that reside in the
00:22:52
unconscious and can take control of
00:22:54
consciousness at any moment. They are
00:22:56
like fragmented personalities within us
00:22:59
created by traumas, psychic wounds and
00:23:03
unresolved
00:23:04
experiences. In the book psychological
00:23:07
types and also in the ego and the
00:23:10
unconscious, Jung describes how these
00:23:13
complexes can directly interfere with an
00:23:16
individual's behavior, causing them to
00:23:18
react not to the present but to echoes
00:23:21
of the past.
00:23:23
A simple comment connects unconsciously
00:23:26
to an old abandonment, rejection or
00:23:29
humiliation, and those nearby pay the
00:23:33
price. The complexed person does not
00:23:36
realize they are being guided by these
00:23:38
internal forces. When they react with
00:23:40
fury, extreme sadness or exaggerated
00:23:44
resentment, they believe they are being
00:23:46
rational. But they are not. They are
00:23:49
reliving undigested emotions. And the
00:23:53
problem is that this does not happen
00:23:55
consistently. It occurs in lapses. There
00:23:59
are emotional explosions interspersed
00:24:01
with moments of lucidity, affection or
00:24:04
regret. This makes the bond with such a
00:24:07
person even more confusing and
00:24:09
addictive. You start to think they are
00:24:12
not always like this. Sometimes they are
00:24:14
wonderful. And that is exactly what
00:24:17
keeps you hooked because there are
00:24:19
moments of genuine connection of true
00:24:22
affection. But these moments are
00:24:24
followed by unpredictable ruptures where
00:24:26
you find yourself in the midst of an
00:24:28
emotional storm that you do not
00:24:31
understand. And in an attempt to restore
00:24:34
harmony, you mold yourself, adapt,
00:24:37
shrink. You start to avoid certain
00:24:39
topics, measure your words, walk on
00:24:42
eggshells, all to avoid waking the
00:24:44
monster that sleeps within the other
00:24:46
person. But here is the brutal truth.
00:24:49
That monster is not awakened by you. It
00:24:53
is always there, latent, hungry, waiting
00:24:56
for any trigger to emerge. And when it
00:24:59
does emerge, it consumes everything
00:25:02
around it. For yung unrecognized
00:25:05
complexes end up colonizing the psyche.
00:25:09
They speak for you, feel for you, act
00:25:11
for you. And in the case of the
00:25:14
complexed person, this takeover happens
00:25:16
frequently. They may be dominated by a
00:25:19
complex of inferiority, martyrdom,
00:25:22
abandonment, persecution, each with its
00:25:24
narratives, its emotions, its demands.
00:25:28
And the more you try to maintain peace,
00:25:30
the more you feed the illusion that it
00:25:32
is possible to control the
00:25:34
uncontrollable. Being close to someone
00:25:36
like this is to live in constant alert.
00:25:40
There is never emotional stability. The
00:25:42
present is always contaminated by
00:25:45
ghosts. And sooner or later, you begin
00:25:48
to absorb these ghosts. You start to
00:25:50
doubt yourself, your memory, your
00:25:52
feelings. And without realizing it, you
00:25:55
too are being colonized by the others
00:25:58
unconscious. But the most dangerous part
00:26:00
is yet to come. Because while the
00:26:03
complex person oscillates between
00:26:05
emotional extremes, there is another
00:26:07
type of person who does not shout, does
00:26:10
not explode, does not accuse, but
00:26:13
consumes your energy until you have
00:26:16
nothing left. In the next and final
00:26:18
section, we will talk about the psychic
00:26:21
vampire. the one who feeds on your time,
00:26:24
your attention, your empathy, and leaves
00:26:28
you exhausted, drained, empty. And with
00:26:31
them, we will close this cycle by
00:26:34
revealing what Yung truly believed to be
00:26:36
the way out of this unconscious
00:26:41
jungle. Some people don't want your
00:26:43
presence. They want your energy. And
00:26:46
they will do everything to drain it. Not
00:26:49
with violence, nor with explicit
00:26:52
aggression, but with subtle demands,
00:26:54
chronic victimhood, emotional dependency
00:26:57
camouflaged as
00:26:59
affection. This is the psychic vampire,
00:27:02
the most silent and insidious form of
00:27:05
emotional draining that Carl Jung ever
00:27:07
warned about, even if not by that name.
00:27:10
Because in Yungian language, it is the
00:27:13
symbol of the unresolved symbiotic
00:27:15
relationship, the pathological bond that
00:27:18
hinders psychic growth and dissolves the
00:27:20
contours of the self. Jung in various
00:27:24
passages of the ego and the unconscious
00:27:26
and in Ion shows us that one of the
00:27:28
greatest threats to the process of
00:27:30
individuation. The path towards
00:27:32
wholeness is symbiotic relationships
00:27:35
where two people do not recognize
00:27:37
themselves as separate individuals but
00:27:39
as psychic extensions of one another.
00:27:42
The psychic vampire lives exactly in
00:27:45
this type of connection. They need your
00:27:47
constant attention, your daily comfort,
00:27:50
your being available all the time. But
00:27:52
behind the neediness, there is a void
00:27:54
that is not yours and that you will
00:27:57
never be able to fill. You start by
00:27:59
offering support. Then you give time.
00:28:03
Then you tolerate emotional abuse in the
00:28:05
name of
00:28:07
understanding until you realize that all
00:28:10
your energy is being drained and that
00:28:12
you no longer know where the other ends
00:28:14
and where you begin.
00:28:16
The exhaustion is profound. It is not
00:28:19
just physical. It is
00:28:21
existential. It feels as if your soul is
00:28:24
being devoured drop by drop day after
00:28:27
day. Jung spoke of people who unable to
00:28:30
sustain themselves psychically attached
00:28:33
to others like emotional parasites. And
00:28:35
as cruel as it may seem, this is the
00:28:38
truth. The psychic vampire does not want
00:28:40
to grow. They want to be carried. But
00:28:43
the danger is not just in the
00:28:45
exhaustion. It is in the dissolution of
00:28:48
the self. You start to feel guilty for
00:28:50
wanting space. Selfish for wanting
00:28:53
silence. Cold for wanting distance.
00:28:57
Because the psychic vampire is a master
00:28:59
at reversing roles. From victim they
00:29:02
become accuser. From needy they become
00:29:06
manipulator. And before you realize it,
00:29:08
you are living to avoid crisis, to
00:29:11
maintain peace, to sustain a bond that
00:29:14
is killing you inside. Jung offers us a
00:29:17
path to make the unconscious conscious.
00:29:20
And this applies to both others and
00:29:22
ourselves. Because perhaps at some point
00:29:25
in life, you too have been a psychic
00:29:28
vampire or a complex person or a bearer
00:29:31
of the
00:29:32
persona. None of us is immune. We all
00:29:35
have shadow. We all have pain. The
00:29:39
difference lies in who has the courage
00:29:41
to look within and who chooses to
00:29:44
project that weight onto others. This
00:29:46
video was a mirror, a dive into the
00:29:49
dynamics that bind us, hurt us, and keep
00:29:52
us unconscious. If you've made it this
00:29:54
far, it means you are ready to see, to
00:29:57
name, to break free. And this is the
00:30:01
first and most powerful form of freedom.
00:30:04
It is not about blaming others but about
00:30:07
stepping out of the hostage position
00:30:09
about reclaiming sovereignty over your
00:30:11
own
00:30:12
psyche. Now I want you to participate.
00:30:16
Leave in the comments which of these
00:30:18
profiles have you faced and which do you
00:30:21
honestly perceive within yourself. Your
00:30:24
comment could be the beginning of
00:30:25
awareness yours and of those who read
00:30:28
it. And before you go, an important
00:30:31
notice. The next video is also
00:30:34
essential. It will take you even deeper
00:30:36
into this journey of self-nowledge. So
00:30:39
keep watching. You need to see because
00:30:42
the more light we shed on the
00:30:44
unconscious, the less it controls us.
00:30:47
See you there.
