Complex

❝Complexes are ‘feeling-toned ideas’ that over the years accumulate around certain archetypes, for instance ‘mother’ and ‘father’. When complexes are constellated they are invariably accompanied by affect. They are always relatively autonomous. Complexes interfere with the intentions of the will and disturb the conscious performance; they produce disturbances of memory and blockages in the flow of associations… in a word complexes behave like independent beings.❞
