Freudian question
Are intrusive thoughts hidden desires of our uncounscious mind? I think I know the answer to this. Learning abt Freud at school messed me up a little

Freud is often scoffed at a little by other psychologists. Doesn’t help he was also on drugs a lot, so take what he says with a grain of salt cause not one person has the answers for everything and definitely not one man from the 1900’s.
I disagree with Freud to be honest. I think a lot of psychologists nowadays also disagree with Freud.
You think you know the answer, but you don't really. Nobody does. Freud was not a scientific researchers, according to modern standards. He was more like a philosopher. So his theories are matters of opinion, really.
with "i think i know the answer" I meant it as this probably not true, but looking back to it most of neuroscience is still undiscovered and a lot of things are uncertain so that means intrusive thoughts could be hidden desires, Freud could be right as nothing is certain..
TW!! If you have Pure O, for your own good, please don’t read my post. Just searched up "intrusive thoughts/images" on french websites and they said that they’re all connected to hidden desires. We’re back at square one lol I don’t know if I can live with myself if it is true and seeing my psychologist scares me even more.
Sometimes I wonder if ocd has been studied enough. Like how do they know these subtypes?? Are they masks for actually wanting whatever it is and then experiencing guilt? Did professionals make up soocd to get people to fear their sexuality/thoughts? And then the people will cover it up with ocd when it's actually denial ????? I know these are intrusive/doubting thoughts but I felt like sharing in case any of u relate
Has anyone else read about freuds research on ocd? Its really scaring me. I don't even want to write it here in case I trigger someone.
