Psychodynamic Perspective

This topic by Freud has made me realize the presence of my unconscious, preconscious, and conscious. The conscious is the contact between internal & external world. The preconscious is information that is available can be retrieved through conscious recollection. The unconscious is the hidden drives, urges, wished & instincts that we are not aware of. I have learned that all of these have to work coherently. I also learned how we channel these emotions. Like displacement, again after a bad performance, I channeled my emotion to the game to my teammates. I blamed my teammates for my bad performance and that sometimes cost me my relationship with them, but then I would realize my mistakes and apologise for my irrational reaction. Also I would be in denial, I would push back responsibilities because I wouldn’t want to accept them. I should learn to understand these defense mechanisms and react to it accordingly.
