CL final psychoanalysis

the unconscious

we repressed some traumatic or unpleasant circumstance or experience, because the thought of it is intolerable, and as long as we fail to come to terms with it, it will continue to affect our behavior.

regression

a way of reliving a past painful or pleasant experience, could positively lead to an “active reversal” or solving of our core, buried problem

fear of intimacy

we were neglected by a parent as a child and now fear intimacy

death drive

promotes aggression, cruelty, violence, self-destruction, and the self-destruction of others

sexuality cannot be divorced from morality because sexual mores

are determined by the larger society in which we live
