Feeling Stuck? Your Unconscious May Be Trying to Tell You Something:
-The Unconscious Speaks: Lacan famously said, “The unconscious is structured like a language.” If you feel stuck, perhaps it’s time to learn that language.
- Recognize STUCK: It’s more than a feeling—being stuck might mean you’re unable to move forward in life, make decisions, or reach goals. It could be tied to fears, relationships, habits, or even career choices.
- The Repetition Compulsion: Freud called it “The Repetition Compulsion,” our tendency to repeat unresolved traumas. This force can trap us in cycles, bringing us back to the same challenges, despite our best efforts.
- Change is Hard: Whether it’s environmental, skill-based, or unconscious, many factors hold us back from change. Even when you’ve tried everything, breaking free from old patterns is daunting.
-The Symptom Holds Your Story: The symptom you can’t shake—the one you blame for your problems—carries the narrative of your life. It’s where your unconscious leaks out buried struggles, losses, and pains.
- Deconstructing the Symptom: Resolving repetition involves unpacking the stories embedded in the symptom. It’s about giving voice to what was too painful to remember, unlocking the door to your unconscious.
- Your Journey: No one can undertake this journey for you. It’s about telling your story, claiming your place, and grappling with core issues. Can you make peace with what you are not, without filling the void?
- Ready to Begin?: Only you can decide if the time is right. Your unconscious is ready when you are.
