This article offers a reflection on the 150th anniversary of Carl Gustav Jung's birth, focusing on his contribution to clinical listening and contemporary subjectivity. Based on a theoretical-reflective approach, drawing on the Collected Works and post-Jungian authors, it articulates the concepts of Self, individuation, shadow, and symbol with the current challenges of clinical psychology. In a world marked by the logic of performance, medicalization, and subjective acceleration, Analytical Psychology emerges as a path of resistance and reconnection with interiority. Individuation is understood not as a project of ego enhancement, but as a symbolic process of psychic transformation, often initiated by the symptom. Jungian clinical practice is presented as a field of mutuality, where the bond between analyst and patient becomes a space of truth, implication, and alterity. Ultimately, soul-listening is reclaimed as a political and existential gesture in caring for suffering.
