Is it possible to psychoanalyze oneself?

>> No.17556595

To an extent, yes
To a degree that is workable enough to achieve long lasting results: no.

But my professor said that Jung proved with his work on the symbolic message of dreams, the reason humans must have them is to be able to repair themselves psychologically with the help of logic and reason. Self healing basically.

No. Your mind will start throwing up walls as soon as the thought enters your conscience process. I imagine some greatly altered emotional state, such as fasting, staying awake, drugs or a great loss would allow it. But what do I know, I came on here to look at 90 day fiancee nudes and got distracted by /lit/

I just think about it in a very shallow Freudian way. For example
>I am sad
>Why am I sad?
>I'm sad bc that face when no gf
>Why do I want gf? Why won't friends make me happy?
>Because I want to put my dick in it
>Therefore I must jerk off

>> No.17557864

>>17557813
>Therefore I must jerk off
This is exactly why people shouldn't be their own therapist. They just become one form of addict or another.

Was that a Freudian slip anon? Are you depressed? Because jerking off when sad could only be considered an addiction if one is always sad.

Taking a hit of dopamine to avoid negative emotion is not a bad definition of addiction.

>> No.17558074

>>17557993
No, but it's a symptom. If you do a lot of other stuff with it, then yeah

>> No.17558366

>>17557993
Addiction is more about frequency than what the action is. If one takes an action to avoid negative emotion once a month, he is not an addict. However if he does this nightly, he is an addict

Yeah just convince yourself you wanna fuck your mom and you have a phobia of having your dick chopped off and you're basically a schizoanalyst. If you disagree, you're probably an anti-semite.

It is only possible to psychoanalyze yourself. ANY PSYCHOANALYSIS IS FUNDAMENTALLY PROJECTION AND THE ANALYSIS IS FILTERED THROUGH THE FILTER OF SELF.
All analysis is tinted by personal bias and inherent mental processes.

Wrong on the second half. You can learn your own subconscious by questioning what it is that is attracting you and questioning your motivations, pervasively, day in and day out.

Eventually your sub-conscious begins to be as visible to you the light of day and you gain a higher sense of self-understanding and control over impulsive behavior that would other-wise hurt you.

Can someone psychoanalyse me?
I always have a dream about a dead girl, tied to a tree, by one foot, upside down, naked. Next to the tree are children jumping into a creek and disappearing. They make a splash but don't come back up. This dream terrifies me.
