How do you let go of an obsession with someone?

In Jung's view, a complex is a collection of images and ideas centered around an archetypal core, imbued with a specific emotional tone. Once a complex is triggered and starts to exert its influence, it can have a highly emotional impact on a person's psyche and behavior, regardless of whether they are aware of it. This influence can even become "dominant." Strong emotions such as love or hate, joy or sadness, gratitude or anger, often accompany the activation of a complex. At such times, we may no longer be able to rationally present our true selves and instead become entirely controlled by the complex.

In this sense, a complex is similar to a psychological instinct that, once triggered, operates automatically according to its inherent patterns. Therefore, individuals trapped by a particular complex tend to exhibit thoughts and behaviors dictated by that complex. From a clinical perspective, complexes often result from psychological fragmentation; traumatic experiences, emotional distress, or moral conflicts can all lead to the formation of a complex.
