In Jungian psychology, libido—from Latin libīdō, meaning “desire” or “longing”—refers to the flow of psychic energy that fuels all forms of human motivation, not just sexuality. Unlike Freud, Jung broadened the term to encompass creativity, spiritual striving, and the drive toward individuation. Libido manifests in dreams, symbols, and behavior, expressing the psyche’s push toward wholeness and self-realization.
In Jungian psychology, individuation is the lifelong process of becoming one’s true self by integrating the conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche. It involves confronting inner conflicts, embracing shadow elements, and recognizing archetypal patterns to move toward psychological wholeness.
Note: Individuation is not isolation but differentiation—developing a unique identity while remaining connected to and with the collective.
