Psychoanalysis and that’s pretty much it (formerly psychoanalysis and more). But still sometimes veering off into “more”

Something I’ve been thinking about in terms of this idea of ‘lack’ is that I don’t think it’s the subject who lacks. It’s the environment that the person comes into that lacks. It is nature & nurture themselves who lack. The subject becomes the force of life in a lacking world.

Oh you're an iconoclastic young Lacanian wedding psychoanalysis with Marxist social theory? Do you have a substack? Should we start an institute?

Idk if I want to co-sign ‘embrace your symptom’ as the goal of analysis anymore because many people’s symptom manifests as selfishness or being a dick. Embrace your lack is the real king.

The only thing more important to me in these times than preserving the value of thought is not being unbelievably pretentious and isolating about it. The former relies on the latter. In other words, thinking is cool, stop being annoying nerds about it.

YCSE is a real test of people’s thoughts on how much desire can be manipulated, and simultaneously, can we imagine women to have their own desire, even if we disagree with it.

A good enough parent lives at the intersection of: being present enough to fear that every choice is consequential and recognizing that no one’s life is decided through the ‘right’ sequence of progressive choices. It’s a finding peace in this impossible quagmire.

Freud's move from seduction theory to infantile sexuality is one that allows us to conceptualize how, perhaps irreversibly, awful child sexual abuse truly is. Introducing adult sexuality where infantile sexuality persists is a horror that is ontologically unimaginable to adults.

Anyone else in Therapy X cringe when fellow therapists invoke Freud, knowing he was an apologist for child sexual abuse?

“the ego — which is the only thing to which one has access, despite also being only another hindrance, a failure [act manqué], a slip.” -Lacan

If you discuss categories of “personality,” then this is American psychology. Much of American psychoanalysis is American psychology, minus all but “personality.” The difference between therapies in the US is often minuscule, because they are equally theoretically superficial.

The sanctity of the departed has never been equal. It’s quite sad to feign ignorance to this.

“As far as Freud and his relation to the father are concerned, let us not forget that, despite all his efforts to understand, he was forced to admit, to a woman of his acquaintance, that, for him, the question —What does a woman want?—remained un-answered.” -Lacan

Love how much he tweets. God needs to let us know he’s suffering with too many ideas as much as we need to let him know the same, & Bobby is his means to do so.

There exists a martyrdom of those who offer their lives in a single moment, and the more hidden martyrdom of those who give their lives day after day. This is exactly what all Christians are called to do: to give our lives with love, every day.

“… every therapeutic process initiated by a physician; most frequently it is favourable to recovery, but often it acts as an inhibition. We have learnt to use the word ‘suggestion’ for this phenomenon” -Freud

Trump: "I take an aspirin a day. I don't know if it works but psychologically I need it. It thins the hell out of your blood I guess. I don't know if it works or not but I've been doing it for a long time. And here I am making speeches. I like Bayer aspirin. And I take the big one. They want me to go down to the 80. I take the 386. I don't know what the hell it is. It's a monster. They said, 'Sir, you don't need that!' I said, do me a favor, I've been doing okay for 35 years. Leave me alone."

I find Solm’s work important (& the RSE is a masterpiece) but it also contributes to this larger discourse—or maybe is an effect of it—that theories of the psyche are only taken seriously if they are proven scientifically. Can we take Freud seriously if we cannot prove him?

"We cannot conceal from ourselves what, as physicians, we are in the habit of denying to our patients, namely, that a severe neurosis is no less serious for the sufferer than any cachexia or any of the dreaded major diseases." -Freud

Uma Carolina Que Ama Lacan
@carolguedespsiiJul 8
Lacan questiona a ideia de um "eu autêntico" como uma essência oculta a ser recuperada, enquanto Winnicott entende o verdadeiro self como a experiência de espontaneidade, criatividade e continuidade de ser que pode emergir em um ambiente suficientemente bom.

The enshittification of therapy has much more to do with capitalism than wokeness.
