In a series of books, the 20th century psychoanalyst Karen Horney explored the idea that many people undermine their own well-being as a result of unconscious disturbances which influence their thoughts and behaviors. In this video we examine Horney’s ideas on why unconscious disturbances form, and explore the possibility of attaining self-knowledge so as to free ourselves from their crippling influence.

This channel is a pearl in a sea of mediocrity.
Keep it up, few channels rival this one.

I realize that the purpose of this channel is to inform regarding issues in Philosophy and psychology but it also has some of the best choices in great art works. Absolutely superb choices in aesthetic greatness.

Self analysis is good as long as we dont lie to ourselves...

The strongest motivation is the desire to live a life that is more healthy and happy than your current one. If you really want this you will find ways to overcome problematic behavior like addictions or fears. Just be patient with yourself and never give up.

Thought I was the only one with my own inner therapist. It’s the most reliable gift you can be given to be honest.

Over the last six months, I have been doing my own therapy. I was previously in therapy for two years, and I do not think it was as helpful, as it seems to be with others. My therapist and I got along smoothly and we learned a lot from each other. However, I don't feel like much progress was made, maybe because of my inability to open up or the constant lying, either way, it didn't help me. So for the past six months, I have been conducting therapy sessions in the confidential space of my mind. Because I know all of my dirty secrets and peculiarities, I feel more comfortable and more engaged. I have even bickered and verbally fought with myself over my troubling past and unclear future. While I still am practicing this I feel I am making more headway than my previous therapist.

I am that which wants to grow;
Pain and suffering are the nutrients for growth because pain is weakness leaving the body.

[figglyawes]

I am very introspective, self reflect often, very self accepting, yet at the same time very passive and unmotivated. The things I value most are Truth, self realization, and self love, but still feel that I am missing something

Hello! I stumbled on this videos years ago when I was in the lowest point in my life. I hardly ever left my room (let alone my house), I would cry every day, was anxious/depressed 24/7 and I was just discontent with life. I watched this video and I thought to myself I had to change. I still have a long way to go but ive made leaps and bounds. Ive gone out to concerts and had the time of my life more times this week alone than I did for all of 2021. Thank you!

I use this comment to confess that this channel is not just an "academy of ideas". I like how almost every video tries to confront the most brutal aspects of life, being really harsh sometimes, but also offers a spark of light at the end of the tunnel. Even if this channel mostly gives excelent doses of knowledge, it does so in order to improve the individual (thus, humanity). And it does that in such a genuine way. So, my point is that Academy of ideas uses knowledge as a tool of self improvement for the greater good. Incluso extremely appreciate the existence of these videos. They are way more spiritual than some may expect. Good spirituality can be found in knowledge.

I will stop now. Excuse me for my english (I'm from Spain, WHICH IS A PERFECTLY VALID JUSTFICATION AND YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT SO I DON'T APPEAR TO BE THE IGNORANT FOOL THAT I POTENTIALLY AM - Just partly joking).

Have a good day and don't kill yourselves. :)

Your time, efforts, energy and quality content can not be overstated. Thank you.

Excellent video.


As someone that has been undergoing self-analysis, I can confirm that it may help us tap into our inner strengths.
Here's what I've been doing for the past few months:
- At the start of the day, meditate. I think deeply about something that I enjoy (as to motivate myself), then I set my goals for this day (also having in mind what I'll have to endure to achieve it), and then go do whatever I need to.
- Upon reaching roadblocks or anything that may seriously depress me, I spend a few minutes by myself, thinking about what I've been through and what's important for me.
- Most importantly, at the end of the day, I write down (first, as objectively as possible) what went right, what were my mistakes and how can I avoid them.
After a month or so, I make a summary of the most important bits of info about myself.

For me the 'self actualization' is what resonates. I believe most of us know what our strengths, weaknesses, desires, and potentials are. When we act in a way that is authentic to self we are gaining confidence, esteem, and getting closer to our nature. In a world where we are pulled in so many directions by vices, distractions, behaviors et cetera it is the ultimate power to have introspect and live your life the way you know you are capable of.

This channel is amazing, no one bridges psychology and philosophy together quite as well as this dude.

hey! self therapy works. took me 5 years to be fully okay and mentally stable. I tried everyday to be a better me and to be honest with myself and care for myself how id care for someone who's problems I'm really concerned about. it was a fucking process but everyday I wake up on the bright side of the earth so that means something to me. And at the end of the day it feels really good to know you're strong and great enough to care for yourself and hold yourself up in every case of day to day life. it was so fucking hard to fix myself and it was so fucking worth it.

I love this.
This is actually part of the reason I left therapy some time ago.
Even though I was very broken when I started it, after a few months of healing and getting more and more driven to tend to my mental health, I realized that I was doing 98% of the work. The sessions served as a motivation and a weekly check-up, but after a while they became like training wheels which already served their purpose.
I was quite far ahead regarding the knowledge of my issues and their origin than my therapist was.
The last sessions were basically me explaining to my therapist all the stuff I was discovering and working through using shadow work meditations, journaling, and other tools of self-knowledge and self-realization, while she nodded and reafirmated what I was saying.
I'm not underapreciating talk-therapy though, most people that need therapy would be better suited to start there, as I did in the beginning of my mental health journey. But if you have enough drive and self-awareness, there certainly is a point when you can keep working on yourself faster and more efficiently than with the assist of a therapist.
Of course, this REALLY depends on the case, the mind, the person, the context, the therapist, etc.
But in my case, I'm glad to see that this concept has been quite explored and shared. In some point I began to doubt whether I was way overconfident on my self-healing abilities, or my therapist sucked lol, so this is a nice middle-ground concept between those two notions.

Thanks for the video!
