Psychological complexes

Psychological complexes are unconscious patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors centered around a particular theme or issue that influence how a person perceives and reacts to the world. They often develop from past experiences and can operate beneath conscious awareness, sometimes causing emotional distress or automatic responses. For example, someone with a "inferiority complex" might consistently feel inadequate, affecting their self-esteem and interactions. Addressing complexes typically involves becoming aware of these patterns, understanding their origins, and working through them, often with therapy or self-reflection, to achieve healthier, more balanced functioning.
