Personal Unconscious

those experiences which arise from the individual. Those things that have been repressed, rejected from consciousness, something that has built up during the individual's lifetime. Campbell describes it this way; firstly, they are contents that have lost their intensity and were forgotten or because consciousness was withdrawn from them (repression). Secondly, contents which never had sufficient intensity to reach consciousness but have somehow entered the psyche.
