Fox's Libido takes on a life of its own, causing chaos and hilarity wherever it goes. We are " HUMANs "

 All living organisms are energy systems. Freud's idea of the unconscious was also based on this concept. 

Imagine that our feelings & our desires are like a unique kind of energy inside us. Freud called this energy "libido" (sexual energy/ Desire). He compared this energy to money and how we spend it. 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐲, 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐝𝐨 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬. 

This energy can be measured and shaped, and 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡 to 𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐇 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 people or 𝐨𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬 where it can be redirected or transferred to another object, person or idea, e.g., our feeling. 

The process of cathexis involves 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭, 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧, 𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚. This type of energy can vary in intensity and be displaced, meaning it can be redirected or transferred to another object or idea. Consider our feelings as a unique energy that we carry within us. This energy is not static; it's dynamic and can be redirected and attached to various things or people, much like how magnets stick to a metal surface. 

When we deeply care about something or someone, we use this energy to "attach" our emotions to them. This process, known as cathexis, is like the way we decide where to put our emotions and how strong those feelings are. Just as a light can be brighter or dimmer, 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬, this dynamic nature of our energy makes it so mesmerising and worth exploring.

EGO GRAM by Jack Dussey :

The term 'egogram' encapsulates the energy distribution within five ego states:

1)  Parent, 

2) Adult,

3) Child,

4)  Adapted Child, &

5)  Free Child.

 Each ego state represents a unique way of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Our interactions with others draw energy from these ego states, shaping the dynamics of our relationships. By recognizing and understanding these ego states, we gain a powerful tool to decipher our behaviours and enhance our ability to communicate effectively with others

Consider a scenario where you're in a work meeting, and your boss begins critiquing a project you've been diligently working on. Initially, you might feel defensive and upset, triggering your 'Adapted Child' ego state. In this state, you might feel compliant or obedient on the outside, even though you're frustrated internally. However, if you manage to gather your thoughts and respond with a logical explanation of your work and decisions, you might transition to your 'Adult' ego state. This state is all about engaging in a calm and rational discussion, focusing on problem-solving. But, if your boss's criticism persists and you start feeling overwhelmed by emotions, you might shift to your 'Rebellious Child' ego state, reacting impulsively or emotionally, perhaps even questioning authority. The key here is that recognizing these shifts opens up opportunities for growth and learning, fostering hope and motivation for improved interactions.

 Recognizing which ego state you are in during different interactions is a powerful tool. It can help you better understand your responses and behaviours, leading to improved communication and more effective relationships. This understanding can inspire you to navigate interactions with greater clarity and empathy, fostering a more harmonious and productive environment.
