My theory states that the unconscious is something very deep. We as individuals do not understand what is all going on in our unconscious. We can uncover parts of ourselves that we may not have known about‚ but we will never be able to know or understand everything about ourselves. I believe that the unconscious is a positive reinforcement that keep us going in our daily lives. There are times we get depressed‚ some more than others‚ yet we are able to try and seek help or push through day to day

The main aspect of the psychodynamic theory is that behavior is directed by forces within one’s personality‚ but is usually hidden in the subconscious. According to Sigmund Freud‚ behavior is caused by unconscious thoughts‚ impulses and desires. He also theorized that many of our unconscious thoughts are too hard for us to deal with and so are repressed. Many of Freud’s theories seem either extreme or brilliant‚ but I can’t make up my mind about this one. I don’t think that people walk around like
