Why Families Need the Black Sheep to Survive - Carl Jung
In 1932, a woman arrived at Carl Jung's Zürich practice after being cast out by her family for speaking out against her father's alcoholism. Labeled dramatic, disloyal, or “the problem,” she was told something radically different by Jung: the so called black sheep is not broken, they are the family’s immune system.
In this episode, we explore Jung’s insights into the role of the black sheep in family dynamics. Learn the five unconscious mechanisms through which the sensitive, outspoken, or rebellious member functions as a truth-teller, holding a mirror to the family’s dysfunction. Using the case of Jung’s patient Anna, we reveal how the black sheep can catalyze transformation, create awareness, and offer healing, even when the family resists.
If you’ve ever felt labeled “too sensitive” or “the problem,” this episode will show you why that perception may actually signify your power, resilience, and essential role in awakening those around you.
