Inner-outer worlds

Human suffering is complex, and many psychological struggles reflect harsh living conditions. These mental challenges aren’t just personal issues—they’re signs of larger problems in society. In trying to understand the human mind, psychoanalysis cannot ignore these outside influences.

Focusing only on what’s inside a person, while ignoring the social environment, is like choosing not to see the full picture. Our inner lives and the world around us are deeply connected. A psychoanalytic approach that pushes social factors aside risks missing an essential part of the truth.

For real healing and insight, we need a complete view. Recognizing the impact of social conditions on mental health allows psychoanalysis to grow into a more inclusive and socially aware practice. This blend of the personal and social helps create a better way to address human suffering.

Challenging immediacy.

A pause isn’t a waste of time, but a recovery of lost time. Silence heals what speed makes sick.

Challenging immediacy.

In the whirlwind of our digital age, where immediacy reigns supreme, psychoanalysis emerges as a bastion of reflection. It proposes a concept revolutionary in its simplicity: the pause. This is not sterile inaction, but a vital space for the flourishing of deep thought, an oasis in the desert of hyperconnectivity.

This psychoanalytic pause invites us to slow down, to dive into the depths of our being. It's a precious time to unearth those uncomfortable, painful questions that are buried under the flood of notifications and the tyranny of constant productivity. In this space, our most intimate concerns can finally breathe, expand, and be examined with the attention they deserve.

By embracing this pause, we challenge the culture of perpetual availability. We recognize that the true richness of existence lies not in the quantity of immediate responses we can offer, but in the quality of the questions we dare to ask. Psychoanalysis reminds us that in the silence of the pause, we can find the seeds of a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
