I'm revisiting Carl Jung and his teachings lately. I'm connecting with them more than ever, which for me, speaks to the place I'm in, in my own self discovery.
Having ADHD now, means something entirely different than it did when I was first diagnosed. The concepts involved including: RSD, emotional regulation, and past triggers amd traumas now make it clear to me, as I'm working on myself, that his entire philosophical and psychology approach is based on the subconscious mind which is one in part with, the shadow self. Part of being self aware is being able to see your shadow without judgement. Being able to see yourself this way ( as it says ) is being able to see your whole self, not just "parts" of who you are.
I'm finding I'm at the place where I can do this now, compared to tye past, which is probably why I can connect with Jung even more. There's lots of videos on YouTube about this including ones about the concept of synchronicity. This is both a fascinating concept and a relevant one for me. The idea that my SO has come into my life for a reason, and that reason is to hold a mirror up for me to see what I wouldn't be able to if we weren't together. Because she has ADHD too, I'm feeling more that the reasons were together are different for me than they were in my past.
I think for me, this is progress in finding different paths to learn to control my inner self. The more control, the more confident I am and less I'm finding thing bother me.
Not caring, in Jungian terms, is now a goal I have for myself because I feel it working, and the feeling is good.
