Sigmund Freud was one of the first theorist to reveal the unconscious desires within human nature. Although Freud did not actually discover he aspects of human psyche he opened up the door for the mind to be thoroughly analyzed and provided an overall understanding of unconscious and conscious desire. His ideas were told in hopes that others would be able to build on them and further go into depth. A  psychiatrist who shaped, molded and attempted to perfects Freud’s belief was psychiatrist, Alfred Alder. Alder introduced the term ‘inferiority feeling’, later known as the inferiority complex. This complex continued to be used today by psychologists and psychiatrists who followed Alder, who essentially believed many neurotic symptoms could be traced back to the feeling.

The psychoanalytic is the belief that all human beings are drawn, and motivated by our desires, fear, wants, needs etc which we are completely unaware of- known as the unconscious. Thus, Our unconscious is influenced based on situations whether good or bad that have usually occurred in the early part of our lives and can then be seen/displayed through our actions in the future/present.  Additionally, our hidden unconscious emotions, formerly known as “repression” shows forth in our actions in teen through adulthood. Naturally as humans we do away with negative events in our lives, because of this we show out or try to mend them in our future relationships not realizing it cause us more damage than  pleasure itself. In addition to, as humans we  try not to confront the negative side to who were are,  so we convince ourselves that an alternate truth is real versus what may have actually happened. The irony of this is that no matter how hard we try to supress the negative memory it still comes forth through our actions.  In order to cope with these events as humans we repress certain memories and in turn our unconscious mind stores these memories, which influence our day to day actions. In the end we are put back to the repressed memory. This theory has allowed me to realize that every human experiences some form of anxiety, which stems from the repressed memory. Although anxiety can be deemed negative, anxiety can also be an important experience because it can reveal our core issues, those deeply rooted, psychological problems that are the source of our self-destruction. For example, one core issue is fear of abandonment. This is  would be referred to as the belief that friends and loved ones are going to desert us either physically or don’t really care about us emotionally. Often times when an individual has one core issue it opens the door to another. For example if fear of abandonment is an issue in someone’s life then they may in turn be afraid to make close connections with others due to that fear or may try and get too close too soon fearing that they may leave at any opportunity. The theory itself allows me to analyze the everyday human, it almost makes me question whether or not our actions are based on what we don’t want others to know.
