And tonight we're going to be talking about therapy in its earliest form was built on the premise

that our past doesn't stay in the past.

There's a quote by Faulkner that's very similar.

The past isn't even past.

Freud and his contemporaries believe that the symptoms and pathologies and challenges that we face in our adult life,

such as anxiety, depression, self-sabotaging, behaviors, repetition, compulsion, and so forth,

were and are legible artifacts or messages from our early life experiences. So therapy, in essence, was kind of archaeological in the sense that we unearthed.

Early childhood relationships and dynamics that laid down the tracks that our minds still run on.

And the original languages like hysteria, phobia, compulsion,

when essentially psychology led by Freud, didn't see these, thankfully, as moral failures,

but as adaptations to early environments, early interpersonal

circumstances that had never been fully resolved.
