Thanks, that was helpful. I appreciate you expanding on that.

I've been increasingly interested in psychology, especially as it relates to therapy and human development. I'd definitely seen the term psychoanalysis in some places but thinking back it's definitely been in sources that are on the more "esoteric" side.

I'll take a better look at the wiki page, but in your opinion do you think there's anything of substance worth looking for in old "research" done by Freud and Jung? Should it just serve as history now?

Like, is the concept of a "shadow" useful even as a kind of metaphor? Or, is it better to just read the latest research in psychology and therapy to really understand what's going on in our heads?
