Individuation

Individuation, Jung's term for psychological maturation, is the lifelong process of integrating the shadow (disowned parts of yourself), moving beyond the persona (the social mask), and becoming more fully yourself—not the narcissistic expansion of ego but its conscious dissolution into something larger. It requires facing the inferior and rejected parts of yourself rather than pretending they don't exist or projecting them onto others.
