JUNG-JITSU is a practical field guide to the paradox Jung hinted at: the more you fight what’s inside you, the more it fights back.

Anxiety. Anger. Shame. Perfectionism. Procrastination. The habits you swear you’ll “get rid of.”

Most people meet these forces with control, self-lecture, and willpower.

And the loop tightens.

Jung-Jitsu borrows a principle from martial arts: don’t collide with force—change position, use leverage, and redirect momentum. Applied inwardly, that becomes a simple method: stop feeding inner conflict with war, and learn to work with the shadow as information instead of an enemy.

Inside you’ll find:

• A clear, non-woo explanation of shadow mechanics (why “what you resist, persists”)

• The Five Principles of Jung-Jitsu: Yield, Base, Frame, Leverage, Timing (plus the “Tap” that saves you)

• Fast drills you can use in real moments—meetings, relationships, nights with a racing mind

• Practical applications for anxiety, anger, shame, perfectionism, leadership, and projection

• A 30-Day Training Ladder to build the skill, not just the insight

This isn’t about “positive thinking.”

It’s not about indulging every impulse.

It’s about becoming the adult in the room—inside your own mind—so you can feel what you feel and still choose what you do.

If you’re tired of wrestling yourself…

train the gentle art of inner leverage.

Stop fighting yourself. Start using the shadow’s momentum.

In short:

JUNG-JITSU is a practical Jungian self-help guide that blends Carl Jung’s shadow work with the leverage principles of jiu-jitsu—yield, timing, base, and redirecting force—to help you stop fighting yourself and start changing patterns from the inside out. If you struggle with anxiety, overthinking, shame, perfectionism, procrastination, people-pleasing, anger, or emotional triggers in relationships and leadership, this book gives you simple daily exercises, “in-the-moment” drills, and a 30-day plan for building calm, confidence, and boundaries without suppressing feelings. It’s a modern psychology approach to inner resistance and the shadow: what you resist persists, so you learn to work with your inner protector parts, reduce self-sabotage, and integrate disowned emotions into strength—without woo, fluff, or spiritual bypassing.
