A Jungian Perspective on being in love

Course Description

Romantic Love is a life altering experience full of potential. It can be the most beautiful and intoxicating experience, and it can cause terrible pain. The experience of love can serve as a gateway to increased self-knowledge and more compassion and love for self and others. However, it requires that the joy and pain of love is understood as a reflection of our human condition. Discover how the joys and struggles inherent in the experience can become a psychological gift.

Most people enjoy the beauty and ecstasy of being in love. It is an intoxicating feeling of joy, pleasure, and beauty. Yet, at the same time, this deep experience triggers a variety of deep fears. These range from not being able to be with the loved one, being abandoned, being rejected, loneliness, and feeling deeply jealous when their loved one pays attention to another. Other problems related to Romantic Love include falling in love with someone who is unavailable, or falling in love with someone else while already in a committed relationship.

Moradi believes that romantic love can deepen the lover’s self-knowledge, help you grow psychologically and expand your consciousness and love for humanity and the world.
