“Our intellect can only work correctly when it is not subjected to the action of emotional impulses; otherwise, it is simply conducted as an instrument in the hands of a will and produces the result that it imposes on it... logical arguments are powerless against affective interests."
Freud

“Of course, those with whom we have to deal, the patients, are not satisfied, as they say, with  what are. And yet we know that everything they are, everything they experience, even their symptoms, depends on satisfaction.  They satisfy something that no doubt meets what they could be satisfied with, or perhaps better, they give satisfaction to something.  They are not content with their state, but being in such an unsatisfactory state, they are content anyway.  The whole question is precisely to know what is this if that is content there... This satisfaction is paradoxical... Let's say that, for this kind of satisfaction, they make themselves suffer too much.  To some extent it is suffering too much that is the only justification for our intervention.”

"Anxiety arises from the moment when the subject is suspended between a time when he no longer knows where he is, towards a time where he will be something in which he can never find himself again."​
Jacques Lacan
