The Two Famous Faintings of Freud & The Freud-Jung Split
“I should have never joined you in the first place had not heresy run in my blood” -Carl Jung Letter to Sigmund (March 1912)
Following is a link to a Podcast I was a Guest on wherein we discuss Freud-Jung Split & Jungian Analytical Psychoanalysis:

“You will be accused of Mysticism, but the reputation you won with the Dementia (Praecox) will hold up for quite some time against that” -Sigmund Freud to Carl Jung Letters (Volume II).
One of Freud's supporters, the Hungarian Sándor Ferenzi, was welcomed to a talk in Bremen, Germany. There happened one of the two renowned faintings that Freud had within the sight of Jung. On that occasion, Jung became tipsy on wine which he wasn't utilized to-inebriated or not, Jung's discussion of corpses peculiarly affected Freud as it made him faint. He felt that the wine weariness had caused it yet additionally presumed that Jung may have held onto a death wish against him.
After three years, at a meeting in Munich, Freud fainted once more, when Jung contended against the possibility that the Pharoah Amenophis IV held a death wish against his dad, Amenhotep. Whether or not Jung had a death wish Freud appears to have accepted he did firmly enough to deliver a Neurotic response in him at whatever point the mix Freud-Jung-demise sprung up.
(I highly recommend reading Gary Lachman’s Jung the Mystic: The Esoteric Dimensions of Carl Jung's Life and Teachings, for understanding his mystical inclinations & his relationship with Freud in the Metamorphosis of the Libido)
