NEVES, Simone Rodrigues. Echoes of memory and narrative reimagining: jungian clinical practice facing racial trauma. Junguiana []. 2025, 43, e06.   21--2025. ISSN 2595-1297.  https://doi.org/10.70435/junguiana.v43.288.

This article examines racism as a manifestation of the cultural complex and the impacts of racism on individual and collective psyches. By analyzing a clinical case study through the lens of Jungian Analytical Psychology, we explore how silenced narratives emerge from the unconscious, and affect the identities of racialized individuals. Clinically attuned listening — sensitive to the images and affects mobilized in analytic sessions — reveals unconscious material available for integration into consciousness. The analytic setting becomes a space for symbolically working through archetypal pain by acknowledging phantom memories, thereby fostering new subjective experiences. The holding environment enables movement between regression and progression of psychic energy, supporting the individuation process. The study underscores the significance of clinical practices that acknowledge the intricacies of racial trauma, leading to the re-signification of psychic distress in racialized contexts. ■
