INTRO:
This is a strange episode of InForm: Podcast where Neil does what he did way back in 2018 when he started the podcast -he just talks into a microphone about something in an informal way that is hopefully informative.

0:00 - 5:00

Going old school InForm for today.
Calling it Super Informal

5:00 - 8:00

Some of the differences between psychoanalysis & psychotherapy
One big difference is time

8:00 - 19:50

Psychoanalysis takes time, you can't microwave it.
There is a three-act structure
Act I - Feel safe enough to start free-associating
Why have you come?
What brings you in today?
Lots of highlighting

Act II - Say something unexpected, but honest and important (allowing the unconscious to speak)
In Act II there is this process of "making sense" of things
Unexpected patterns emerge
New connections are made
Some interpreting & constructing

Act III - When the person (analysand) comes into contact with something that "does not make sense"
A reorientation
A significant reorganziation
Possibly putting the thing that you can't get past into the rearview mirror. (It's still there, but now it is behind you!)
