Jung On Purpose Podcast by CreativeMind

What Jung and Neuroscience Reveal About the Ego (and Why It Matters at Midlife)

Debra Maldonado and Robert Maldonado PhD Life Coach Training and Personal Transformation Experts Season 1 Episode 14

In this episode of Jung On Purpose, we explore the concept of the ego, challenging the notion that it is an enemy. Discover the recent neuroscience research on brain development and how the ego plays a crucial role in personal growth and self-awareness. We discuss the importance of integrating the ego rather than erasing it, and how it serves as a foundation for deeper exploration into the unconscious.


We explore how:

  • The ego is not the enemy; it is essential for personal development.
  • Recent neuroscience research supports the idea of brain restructuring at different life stages.
  • A strong ego helps in relating to the unconscious and harnessing potential.
  • Integration of the ego is key, rather than trying to erase it.
