this jung quote always leaves me feeling a bit hopeless because how do we know we are facing our soul –it seems to me that any attempt is an avoidance of something else.. what do you think facing your soul entails?

That’s the fun part: we’ll never know that for sure. We can just learn to recognize our avoidant behavior and use that awareness to move toward being open to potentially unpleasant experiences.

i get that.. not running from unpleasant feelings is a way of facing yourself(soul)–but is your soul always unpleasant? can't chasing good feelings also be facing your soul?

It doesn’t have to be unpleasant; the point is that accepting [naturally happening] unpleasant feelings means you’re doing a good job of facing what’s out there. There’s usually no problem with facing what’s pleasant 😉

thank you for this az i'm on a smoke break–and today i almost reached for a blunt because i was feeling some really uncomfortable feelings–past traumatic memories resurfaced but then i saw this quote that's why i responded and now i've flushed the blunt down the toilet.

"unpleasant feelings means you're doing a good job" that's what saved me
