Carl Jung said what you resist persists. Avoiding a problem in yourself or your relationships won't make it disappear. The only way forward is to confront it directly.

Carl Jung said what you resist persists. Avoiding a problem in yourself or your relationships won't make it disappear. The only way forward is to confront it directly.
Jung said, what you resist persists. And it's this reminder that whatever we're rejecting or not dealing with will remain with us, whether it's something we need to improve about ourselves or something that we need to talk to others about. Whatever we're resisting persists, right? It stays with us. So there's no other way Jung felt than to deal with it and address it, either if it's your own development or if it's the development of your relationship with others.
