Content: 

  • Review -- The unconscious is a part of you with a mind & desires of its own.
  • Sometimes what the unconscious desires/plans is not what you consciously desire/plan. 
  • The unconscious is like a ghost haunting our day-to-day lives. 
  • The unconscious ghost (desire) is trying to tell us something, if we hear what it has to say it will stop haunting us. 
  • Repression is a reaction to trauma. 
  • Repression always starts as a solution to a problem, then later on it becomes a problem when it returns. 
  • Repression keeps happening until we contend with what is being repressed.
