How To Truly Overcome Addiction According to Carl Jung

Video Description

Addiction is not a moral failure. It is not a sign of weakness. It is a cry from the soul — an attempt to anesthetize unresolved pain. In this video, we explore the psychology of addiction through the profound insights of Carl Jung and Gabor Maté. You will learn why addiction is a spiritual crisis, how childhood trauma fuels compulsive behaviors, and why true recovery begins when we confront our shadow and reconnect with our deeper self. If you are struggling — or know someone who is — this message is for you.
