HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Instead of simply repressing your worst traits like a normal person, this mystical psychological process demands you invite them to dinner. Individuation requires confronting the dark, hidden aspects of your own mind to become a fully integrated self. It is incredibly exhausting emotional labor that ultimately prevents you from blaming your bad behavior on anyone else.
