neurosis is what we feel as a result of that fragmentation – a sense of deep conflict within ourselves, the friction we feel in our self-definition, compulsion, rigidity, being in chronic crisis, lack of emotional groundedness or perspective.
unchecked, or left in {1.3c} the shadow, our complexes can come to rule our conscious mind and keep us in repeating patterns.
we break out of neurosis by making our unconscious conscious and being anchored in reality.
