The speaker explained how the archetype represents internal self-nurturing qualities, contrasting this with pathological narcissism, where individuals fail to internalize a good maternal figure and instead seek external validation. They also noted Jung’s warning about the negative aspects of the mother archetype, where it can become possessive and hinder individuation, contributing to psychological difficulties.
