Inside the Psychology of a Man Child (Puer Eternus) – Carl Jung

Why do some men never grow up?
Why does responsibility feel like a trap — and commitment, a kind of death?

In this deep-dive into the Puer Eternus — or “eternal boy” — we explore the psychology of the man-child through the lens of Carl Jung. From fantasy-driven avoidance to deep-rooted emotional wounds, we’ll uncover how the refusal to grow up becomes a prison masked as freedom.

In this video, you’ll learn:
What creates the “man child” archetype
The psychological patterns of the Puer Aeternus
How shadow work and inner child healing help break the cycle
Why emotional maturity begins with grief
How to turn raw potential into grounded purpose
This isn’t a judgment.
It’s a mirror.
And for many — a reckoning.
