Just a sampling of what you know yourself to be?
It would seem that, in integrating subconscious material (beliefs, attitudes, desires, etc) by acknowledging it, it is given the context of 'one form of. Identity'. And so, the way one thinks about it and deals with it changes. Is this not how one's definition of oneself expands?
I would, rather than referring to this as a type of 'containment', refer to it as an increase in transparency between the two. Allowing one to 'swim' deeper.
I'm just wondering why any of that is necessary. Unintegrated unconscious is still a part of one's life and, frankly, it's a valuable part in every interaction.
