fixation

Definition:

Fixation refers to a psychological state where emotional energy becomes stuck or overinvested in a particular stage of development, idea, or behaviour. This can result from unresolved conflicts or trauma, preventing psychological growth and flexibility.

Example:

Identifying fixations helps clients release stuck energy and move forward in their individuation process. For instance, a fixation on childhood rejection may require revisiting and reprocessing those early experiences to foster healing.
