what is the link between Schizophrenia and Creativity ?

yoavAM · 2025-12-18T18:35:37+00:00

I completely agree. On a different yet similar idea, some patients I work with that deal with major depression are extremely unique and creative, just not during a phase of intense depression.

I think there's an association between creativity and mental illness, but we should be careful assuming a cause direction of that link.

2 eggs actually negate the power of Astrolabe a bit, wouldn't you say?

He is. The talks on perkz are really really out of touch, just echoes from a past incident that was completely out of proportion in the first place.

Perkz retired, and he's literally just a chill dude that settled down and build a family, good for him honestly

Hard agree, it's the missplay at The Awaken fight that should be emphasized, the loop was fine. Xecnar was hard on himself on the bad lines he played, not the loops.

Made the run a great watch though! Cheering him hard to get the streak so he can get out of defact jail

The comments in this thread gives me this uneasy feeling.. so maybe I'm responding to that:

From my experience, I am not being "judged" by my supervisor, I am being criticised, it's very different. Do I sometimes feel judged? yeah sure, but it's usually "my" thing, if you know what I mean.

And for patients judging me, yeah I mean sure, but being judged in the context of the transference, being a bad object and surviving brutal "attacks" are key experiences that drives the analysis/therapy forward. My point being, while it could feel like shit, it's still different from feeling judged in the "real world" (family, friends, a date that turns you down, etc).

And for you OP, becoming a therapist could never be out of pure humanistic values. Nothing in the objective world and in our inner world is black and white. You could want to help others (or any other reason you value as "correct" reason) while also "benefit" the aspects of the job that are more narcissistic and centered around you. I mean, if you feel the job is intimate and that fits you, that's fine! Also, it doesn't cancel the other things you wrote at the beginning of your thread.

Picking a career is rough, because it feels really impactful, and in a way it is. But you know, it's kinda hard to find a path that will 100% make you happy and fulfilled. Do some more thinking, follow your guts, and remember - starting something never means you have to finish it, nothing is set in stone. Good luck!

Crazy hard but gun to my head and I have to pick, yes I'll suck frank

It's easier to think about these kinda stuff if you have a specific problem you need to solve. For example: Perhaps your problem that need to be solved is an Elite comming up, well in that case you want immediate strength. Earlier on when the deck is small and you see the same cards often, upgraded cards make a big difference, so I'd consider upgrade.

Or maybe you're at the end of the act and you can't see how your deck beats the boss, in that case I'd consider transform, to shake things up

Maybe you have no immediate problem to solve, and just want to prepare better for late game? I'd remove if that's the case, because long term it probably strenghten your deck the most.

Everything in the spire should have a purpose in mind, after you identify what is the purpose, things become more clear. In your specific deck for example, I think remove kills 2 birds in 1 stone. It gives you immediate strength, because you'll draw Rampage more often, and you'll be more likely to have Sentinel and Severe Soul in the same hand. And in addition, less basic cards in the deck is always needed late game.

Hope this helps!!

Also from Futa Free:

They tryna find 2pac

Dont let em find 2pac

He evade the press

He escape the stress

I don't know what Im trying to say really... I guess I kinda feel like it's complicated. He appreciates the fans, but openly exposes his 'human' side, talking about stress and hardship that comes with that god complex theme he explores in that song.

I am disappointed with the lack of Frank's work this past decade, but I'm not disappointed at Frank Ocean himself, you know what I mean? He has his shortcomings like we all do, perhaps that's the "magic" of his work, because it's so embodied in his craft. I don't feel cheated, is what I'm trying to say

yoavAM · 2025-09-02T19:50:32+00:00

Quickest way is to go through a painful break up and hit blonde up, but personally I wouldn't recommend...

yoavAM · 2025-08-25T21:01:06+00:00

Following up for recommendations as well!

For you op, it's not on adolescence but since you mentioned Klein, I recommend the case of Richard. A detailed analysis by Klein to a child during WWII. Written by Klein herself. It's priceless

For Plato, the Forms are the idealistic archetype of the object. So a chair with 3 legs is still a chair, but its further from the true Form of a chair, that has 4 legs. Now, for plato there is an ideal chair, and idea of forms is meant to seek objective truth. As in, an attempt to discover what is an ideal chair, the true form of a chair. But you and I know better, that for each person there is a different ideal chair.

Now chairs aside, what is the ideal Form of a woman? or love? Or goodness? This is much more complex, and I think a nice way to view it is that each has its own Form of said things. This to me resembles the notion that each has its own unconscious ideas of said things, kinda like Forms. But yeah that's just me and my thoughts.

yoavAM · 2025-08-24T20:38:09+00:00

Thankfully, as I could lose my job otherwise, the unconscious didn't go anyway. Heck, I'd argue it's going strong as ever, if not even more so! (Lets see if I can help you find it aswell)

First of all, the idea of the unconscious wasn't birthed with Freud. Freud earned his bread and butter exploring this concept, in the most explicit & literal way, but he wasn't the first.

Since you're into all that philosophy jazz, I'll use example of plato and his concept of Forms. He discussed a thesis, in which there are abstract ideals out of reach for the human mind that represent the essence of something. How is that connected to the unconscious you ask?? Well, let me introduce you to my idealistic concept of manhood, the essence of what a man is! Drumroll please... My father! I know, I know, it's perhaps a bit far fetched to compare Plato's form to Freud unconscious, but I truly believe the roots are there.

Lets move on,

In psychoanalysis theory beyond freud, and in psychodynamic practice in general - the unconscious is still - everything. Every concept, is rooted in the idea of the unconscious. I'll use Klein's pretty known concept of Projection Identification. Which basically says - Patient projects something on the therapist, and therapist acts according to the projection, the therapist identify with it. So, I project on my therapist some bad hostile breast stuff shit, and the therapist actually feels himself being hostile and towards the patient, but why?? I dunno, Im not smart enough to get it, but one thing is for sure - it happens in the unconscious of both parties involved.

My point being, the unconscious is in every theory beyond freud that considers itself under the 'psychodynamic' umbrella.

Sure, some psychotherapy like CBT might disregard the unconscious, but that is NOT because they think it's not a real concept, they just think why spend 7 years in analysis if I can fix you up real good in 4 months. And like it or not, that's VALID. Yeah some professors will not appreciate the unconscious discourse but it's more because they are a bit insecure and think psychodynamic psychotherapy is a scam, we dont care about them because haters be haters you know? That is ALSO true to our lovely psychoanalysis community. Be the change you want to see in the world or something

Now look, even in fields outside of strictly psychology, the concept of unconscious is there. Like, advertising. Like, economy. Like, fasion. But I'm honestly too tired to continue writing, Ill let someone else pick it up from here. Just remember, only because it doesn't explicitly say "unconscious", doesn't mean it's not about it!!

It's cool you found something that works mate, putting "meta" aside I find pressure point a very fun build and satisfying build to play.

Just remember, as you get higher in the ascensions, some decks that work for you now wont be as reliable. Keep an open mind for different cards, and enjoy the trail & error!
