Carl Jung’s Truth About Why Empaths Attract Narcissists — And Can’t Escape | Carl Jung

Many empaths find themselves locked in painful relationships with narcissists—not once, but repeatedly. To the untrained eye, it appears like unfortunate coincidence. But Carl Jung saw a far deeper pattern at work—a psychic attraction rooted in the unconscious. In Jung’s framework, the empath does not merely “fall” for the narcissist. The empath is unconsciously drawn to the narcissist because something unresolved in their psyche seeks recognition and integration. Often, this is a disowned part of the Self—a rejected assertiveness, a buried desire for control, or an unmet longing for validation. The narcissist, in turn, is magnetized to the empath's light not for connection, but for consumption. It is not love, but compensation. Jung warned that what we do not bring to consciousness appears in our lives as fate. This video explores the deeper psychological contract between empaths and narcissists—why it exists, why it persists, and what it takes to finally break the cycle. True freedom comes not from escaping the other, but from facing the Self. “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” — Carl Jung 👍 Like this video if you see yourself in this pattern. 💬 Comment “I choose awareness” if you’re ready to bring light to your shadow. 🔔 Subscribe for more original insights from the depth of Jungian psychology. #CarlJung #EmpathsAndNarcissists #ShadowWork #JungianPsychology #EmotionalPatterns #UnconsciousAttraction #InnerHealing #JungQuotes #SelfAwareness #BreakTheCycle
