The Repetition Compulsion and the Role of Transference

I came to realize that sometimes we formulate our opinions from a place of preconceived assumptions – from the place of unknown. To shed light on something and explore new ways of understanding may be pushing us from our zone of comfort. Thus we choose to retrieve and stay in the place of the known because it feels safer. This reflection touches upon the basic premises of Freud’s work.
