Some slice of life 🥰 — Psychoanalysis as a work of transformation When pressed to explain the process undergone in psychoanalysis, it will always be subject to sounding invariably trite and is most often reduced to that of a patient "ranting" in which the case being, shouldn't talking be free? Why can't this analytic process be done in the privacy of my own home or is it possible I can simply conduct this inner monologue to a close friend who remains silent for the purpose of achieving the same analytic effect? The question is what distinguishes psychoanalysis from any other form of therapy if it appears to be simply "talking". Psychoanalysis endows words with transformative properties in which there is no individual part of this process that can be pinpointed in its potential success because this process remains in that stage of what Walter Benjamin calls, "the dialectical image" in which refers to the shared interaction between the viewer (subject who perceives which in this case is me) and the moment (the past interpreted by the subject through the act of recalling these memories) in which in its preservation , can return one back to a recurring point. No word or moment within a single session can be attributed to the transformation of one's self. From my brief personal experience with psychoanalysis, the reason there are no predetermined goals is because that would confine the patient to the trivial mindset of "cause and effect"; this means that the purpose of analysis is open-ended indicating that this process is not procedural. By there being no systematic set of instructions that must be followed allows the patient and the process of her analysis to not be restrained from the plethora of possibilities. There are no pre-established goals because psychoanalysis, like life, is open ended; this is similar to what makes life interesting compared to that of a movie being repeatedly rewatched, is not only that it's mysterious but that it's subject to change at any time. Psychoanalysis emphasizes in this way that a person's circumstances and momentary desires are transient but what is truly significant is the character development which Freud relates to being caused by the "education to reality" (psychoanalysis) in which the patient no longer feels as if her reality is permanent and she will forever be constituted for but by undergoing analysis, she , too, has her own ability to freely constitute. If you want to understand a systematic process of how psychoanalysis works (although this does not do it justice but it will for now suffice). The nature of the u n c o n s c I o u s is that it is not visible to that of the senses which also reaffirms that the elements involved in this process, is too, elusive and cannot be detected by physical means. The Analyst is only able to make and test deductions based on the recognized patterns the patient exhibits in his daily interactions in the analytic setting. The analyst and the process of psychoanalysis itself, being an inherently neutral force, aids in the transposition of the patent's u n c o n s c I o u s thoughts (repressed by trauma or sublimated elsewhere) into that of conscious thoughts (pre-conscious). Although, as I have stated previously, the u n c o n s c I o u s not being directly accessible but we are able to view pieces of the u n c o n s c I o u s through the process of conscious thoughts being transformed into that of the patient's dreams. If I were to pin point an objective goals that Psychoanalysis undertakes, the first being , the patient's regain of ego control , and second , most importantly, is that the patient is , thus, given the much deserved possibility to live a happy and fulfilling life without being relentlessly tormented by the plethora of pathologies that stem from being alienated from their own identity as a freely constituting self.
