What don’t you see?

52 psychoanalytic questions for self-exploration

Welcome!

This space was created so that you can stop for a while, listen to yourself and look at familiar experiences from another side.

There are no tests, diagnoses or ready-made answers here.

There are questions.

Sometimes it seems we can know very well what is happening to us, yet not understand at all why exactly it is happening to us.

  • Why do I end up in similar relationships again?
  • Why is it so hard for me to say “no”?
  • Why do I feel guilty when I choose myself?
  • Why do I put off what I really want?
  • Why do I know what needs to be done, but still cannot take a step?

“What don’t you see?” invites you to look at these experiences through a psychoanalytic lens — through desires, fears, defences, inner conflicts and repeating scenarios.

But there is an important “but”.

This product is NOT psychological, psychotherapeutic or psychiatric help.

It is not a medical service, psychotherapy, diagnosis, treatment or a substitute for consulting a specialist.

The questions and explanations in this guide are purely informational and reflective and are intended for self-exploration.

They cannot determine the causes of your state, make a diagnosis or give individual advice.

The same problem can mean something completely different to different people. Our experiences are bound up with our personal history, experience, relationships and life context.

So do not take the interpretations offered here as statements about yourself.

They are only possible directions for reflection.

If a question stirs up strong or lasting feelings, do not force yourself to go on.

If you are going through an acute psychological or mental state, a crisis, a sharp decline in how you feel, thoughts of self-harm or suicide, or other states that worry you, do not rely on this product.

Seek professional help from a psychologist, psychotherapist or psychiatrist. In an emergency, call emergency services.

Psychotherapy is a separate form of professional mental health care, and psychiatric care includes, among other things, the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders.
