Defence-based Behavioural Patterns of the False-Self
In this article, I will try to flesh out the behaviour that is embodied within the phrase; “an ego-bound” individual. That is, an individual that projects themselves via a mask of false self behaviours, designed to cover up their inner sense of lacking or inability, that hides their secret belief that they are irretrievably broken. The term ego-bound, specifically, refers to someone that has largely “become” that mask, and considers it to be part of their authentic individuality.

The Authenticity Paradox
Authenticity, I suggest, is a continuum, a spectrum of stages, that may never end, since the self is a largely unknown thing, and that exploration of self, if done with regular determination, is always going to be revealing “new stuff”.

Theory of Autonomous Complexes
Jung developed his theory of autonomous complexes in 1908, through word association experiments at the Burghölzli psychiatric clinic in Zurich. By measuring subjects’ reaction times to stimulus words and noting hesitations, slips, and emotional reactions, Jung discovered patterns suggesting emotionally-charged “hot spots” in the unconscious.
