In what ways are Carl Jung's "ego death" and biblical "dying to sin" similar and dissimilar?

I was reading a while back and wanted to piece together these two ideas in my head. But as I think more about it the cognitive dissonance only increases. Non-Christians can experience "ego death" (see this [*Wikipedia* section](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_death#Jungian_psychology)) , but "death to sin" happens *after* salvation, which means the two concepts don't fully overlap. But then, how can these two seemingly identical processes be justified to occur at different "stages of development" for different people? I hope this is clear enough of an inquiry.
A passage that comes to mind is Romans 6:11 (and a few other verses in the same chapter, as well):
>"So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus" - Romans 6:11 (NET)
