KEY TAKEAWAYS
Carl Jung proposed that complexes are clusters of feelings, memories, and thoughts around specific emotional themes, often operating outside our conscious awareness.

Jung suggested that by “assimilating” parts of the unconscious into the conscious mind, individuals could achieve better psychological balance and self-awareness.
