Now that might all sound a bit out there but its the basis for western marketing
and still is
And what if you were abandoned by society?
well thats another construct
"society"
is just something you create like I said
it reflects you not anything else
Analytics psychology doesnt see humans as super rational
and thats okay
We aren't really.
I meant society as in the people you know and meet.
So if they were to abandon the person what would he do in that situation?
so everyone you know abandons you
well
we often engineer our own rejection
But,
society at the moment is primarily based around performance
and spectacle
So it can just be a case of not performing
or even undermining other peoples reality
I see.
Questioning peoples beliefs, especially a groups beliefs
Can be very unsettling
a good example of this is when you find yourself in a group sometimes
you might feel anxiety
General anxiety or just social anxiety?
But try and imagine it as the groups anxiety
Not yours
good group therapists often use this concept
well just anxiety i guess youd call it social
Ah ok.
Makes sense.
so an analytic therapy
would aim to erode defense mechanisms
that we've learnt to manage pain
but don't deal with it
and they can be hard to let go of
we all like to think we're special
Some more than others haha
but they are constraining to our happiness
