The Psychology of People Who Cut Off Their Family - Carl Jung (Video)

This is a 17 December 2025 published video.
Society calls them cold, ungrateful, and selfish. But Carl Jung saw something completely different in people who cut off their families. In this special collaboration between Surreal Mind and Inception Mind, we explore both the psychological theory behind family estrangement and the lived reality of those who made this impossible choice.
In the first half, we examine Jung’s groundbreaking work on the family unconscious, the collective shadow that families share, and why he believed the person who leaves is often the only one truly awake. Jung’s concept of individuation reveals why staying in toxic family systems doesn’t just hurt you – it perpetuates dysfunction across generations.
In the second half, we shift from theory to lived experience, exploring the day-to-day reality of cutting ties with family. From the mixed emotions of grief and relief to the judgment from society, from the loneliness of holidays to the discovery of chosen family, we examine what it actually feels like to choose yourself over biological obligation.
This isn’t a story about hate. It’s a story about survival, self-preservation, and the incredible strength it takes to walk away from the people who raised you when staying would destroy who you truly are.
Whether you’re considering this decision, have already made it, or are trying to understand someone who has, this collaboration offers both the psychological framework and the human truth behind one of life’s most difficult choices.
This collaboration represents two perspectives on the same profound psychological journey – the clinical wisdom of Carl Jung and the raw, lived experience of those who had the courage to choose themselves.
A SPECIAL COLLABORATION:
- First Half: Surreal Mind – Carl Jung’s Psychological Perspective
- Second Half: Inception Mind – The Lived Experience & Emotional Reality
If you’re someone who broke the cycle, who chose sanity over family approval, who walked away to save yourself, then this video was made for you.
