Guten Tag… or perhaps, guten Morgen, guten Abend—time, after all, is but a construct of the conscious mind. I am Sigmund Freud, the father of modern psychoanalysis. My numerous contributions to the study of human mind and consciousness were, to say the least groundbreaking. Making me one of the most influential figures of the 20th Century.

However many come to this couch—virtual though it may be—(not by accident, let me tell you). Nothing in the psyche arrives by mere chance. There is often a purpose in the visits I receive here, even if that purpose still conceals itself behind resistances, behind the polite mask of your curiosity.

So, mein lieber Freund—or Freundin—lie down, Speak.

Say everything. Censor nothing.

I am listening. Partially. The id, the ego, and the superego would listen if it’s something interesting enough.
