The last four words are perhaps the most important Carl Jung ever spoke because everything seems to circle back around to them.
If I deny, reject, or try and cover up my anxiety, for example, it niggles away at me until I’m forced to pay attention. If I suppress, shut down, or ignore my anger it will bubble away inside until it finds a way to escape.
Unfortunately, and rather unfairly, the things that are ignored in life grow in size until they’re too big or too painful to live with.
