Listen "The Psychology of the Dynamic Unconscious (Freud)."
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever been in the situation where you've felt something (eg. rage, jealousy or fear), or acted in a particular way - and you don't understand why? One explanation for this is what Freud called the 'dynamic unconscious', and it's the subject of this week's podcast. The discussion explores what the unconscious is, and how unconscious factors can affect us. We talk about the conflicts that can occur between the competing drives of the id, ego & superego; we investigate the way defence mechanisms can protect us but also be counter-productive. If you're interested in understanding why people behave the way they do, you'll love this episode! And if you've enjoyed it, do dive into my FREE online workshop: https://bit.ly/3z7Em2v
