Unconscious?

The word unconscious comes from the German Unbewusste and literally means unknown. That is, in the language of Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, the radical meaning of the term unconscious is: what we do not know about ourselves.

In psychology and psychoanalysis, we understand the unconscious as a part of the soul (psyche) that has its own functioning and different from the functioning of our self, our conscience.

We dream about eight hours a night and we are not the ones who produce the dreams. The dream is the result of an unconscious activity.

Certain problems, which we call symptoms, such as phobias and anxieties, are also the result of unconscious activity. Making the conflict conscious, through psychotherapy or psychoanalysis, is the first step towards its resolution.
