The body never lies

It’s just before six in the morning. It’s still cool in the room, and the light outside is only just starting to find its way through the blinds. There’s this short, strange moment right after waking up where my mind hasn’t yet started scrolling through the to-do list, the worries of the day, or yesterday's memories. In those few seconds, I am just breath, warmth under the covers, a sense of weight on the mattress. Pure existence. Then my head switches on, and the usual noise begins.

In psychoanalysis, fire and water are often used as symbolic representations of different psychological forces and drives.

Fire is often associated with energy, passion, and desire, representing the instincts and desires that drive a person's behavior. It symbolizes the libido, or life force, and is seen as a source of both creation and destruction. In psychoanalysis, fire can represent the aggressive and destructive aspects of the unconscious mind, such as anger, envy, and hatred.

Water, on the other hand, is often associated with emotions, subconscious thoughts, and unconscious desires. It symbolizes the unconscious mind and the emotional drives that influence a person's behavior. In psychoanalysis, water can represent the flow of unconscious thoughts and desires, which can sometimes lead to conflict with conscious desires.

By exploring these symbols and their meanings, psychoanalysts can help individuals gain a deeper understanding of their unconscious motivations and desires, and work towards resolving any unconscious conflicts that may be impacting their lives.
