possession

Definition:

Possession occurs when an archetype, complex, or unconscious material dominates the ego, overshadowing conscious identity. It can manifest as obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviours, or extreme emotional states.

Example:

Addressing possession helps clients reclaim their conscious autonomy and integrate the overpowering element. For instance, exploring an intense outburst of anger may uncover repressed shadow content seeking expression.
