The Shadow By Marie-Louise von Franz: Why You Keep Running From the One Thing That Will Heal You

🧠 Why You Keep Running From the One Thing That Could Heal You: The Shadow By Marie-Louise von Franz Why do we run from the one thing that could heal us? In this rare, soul-piercing lecture, Jungian psychologist Marie-Louise von Franz—Carl Jung’s closest collaborator—reveals the terrifying and healing truth about The Shadow: a force that lives inside each of us, shaped by our past, our pain, and our refusal to look inward. Based on Carl Jung’s theory of the Shadow self, this video is a raw, intimate exploration of Jungian psychology, shadow work, dream interpretation, and the lifelong process Jung called individuation—the path to becoming who you truly are. 🧾 Support this channel: 🜍 Not a channel.
