ego
Definition:
The ego is the centre of consciousness and personal identity, mediating between the internal psyche and external reality. In Jungian psychology, it plays a crucial role in maintaining a sense of stability while navigating the demands of the unconscious, society, and personal growth.
Example:
Understanding the ego’s role helps clients balance their conscious identity with the unconscious, fostering psychological resilience. Therapy may address issues where the ego is either overinflated (arrogance) or underdeveloped (low self-esteem).
