The Dark Night of the Soul: Why Jung Called It the Most Dangerous Phase — And Why It Follows the Breakthrough

The silence after the breakthrough. The practices that no longer work. The presence you once touched, now completely out of reach. Modern psychology calls this depression or burnout. Carl Jung called it the most dangerous phase — not because the darkness is harmful, but because it is the exact moment the seeker is most likely to interrupt the process. In this episode, we trace the Dark Night through Teresa of Ávila's Interior Castle, the alchemical Nigredo, and Jung's clinical work — and reveal why what you are experiencing is not breakdown, but completion.
