[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP who just talked about meditation, which I clearly wrote before is read the whole thread! Now that I have, I say, “yay mediation,” and keep at it. You sound like you’re doing the work, you just want to do work that actually works for you.

As for psychoanalysis and Freud, I think the idea that we have unconscious needs and motivations, and that we twist our conscious experience to meet these unconscious needs in ways we may never even realize, is pretty profound, and accurate. But also: c’mon, Freud. You’re a bit much sometimes.[/quote]

I believe the unconscious stuff, but the garbage about things happening when you're a baby and your mother--we know now, thanks to science, that infants can't even SEE, they have astonishingly short memories (because of the growing nature of their brain, not suppression) and while hearing language is important, they don't understand words... Even non-freudian analysis seems SO counter-science. Like, there's a physical or chemical reaction to so much.[/quote]
