Welcome to a HOT new episode of the podcast by PMHNPs for Everyone. In this episode we discuss the founding father of psychotherapy Dr Sigmund Freud and all his connections to sex and the devious drives that live in our unconscious. We review how foundational psychoanalysis is to doing psychotherapy and how it is currently being used in practice. Dr Wesemann uses word association to foster conversation with Dr Sean Convoy, Dr Kate Melino and Dr Melissa Chapman about psychoanalysis and discuss what everyone thinks of when they hear the terms: Freud (Oral, Anal, Sex with mom, etc), Ego (being full of yourself), Interpretation (limits with our own cultural framework and how therapist have interpretation in all forms of therapy), Unconscious and Defense mechanisms (Not another board exam item!). The episode wraps up with discussion of psychoanalysis themes in popular movies and books. We review several Disney classics such as Sleeping Beauty and Little Mermaid and try not to ruin everyone’s childhood memories of how psychoanalysis themes are prevalent. Dr Sean Convoy even reports that Aladdin’s carpet ride is “full of houses shaped like penises”. Whether its accurate or not the use of psychoanalysis is important in understanding how therapy works whether you are applying or receiving it.
