Explanation:

Carl Jung was a student of Freud and shared interest in the unconscious and the way inner conflict is solved.

An active member of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society

He wrote;

"The self is made manifest in the opposites and in the conflict between them; it is a coincidentia oppositorum [coincidence of opposites]. Hence the way to the self begins with conflict. ["Individual Dream Symbolism in Relation to Alchemy,"

Jung contributed to psychology of conflict noting a belief for tension as opposites causing conflict within ourselves.

The conscious mind will often solve the conflict, so this struggle resulting from opposing elements leads to creativity and new attitudes.

There is a pathway were indecision is solved, and holding the tension requires patience and a strong ego which are mechanisms for regulating.

According to Jung if someone projects on other with conflict, it is an externalization of unconscious conflict lying within oneself.
