FACT. Dwight Schrute is our favourite The Office c FACT. Dwight Schrute is our favourite The Office character. FACT. His favourite would be Michael Scott. FACT. He would never enter psychotherapy.... but today, we'll pretend he does 🤓

And it’s not just brand new content. You’ll only be able to listen to this episode (for now) on my brand new experiment: ✨ THE PSYCHODYNAMIC PSYCHOLOGY PODCAST ✨🎙️ 

You’ll find it on 👉 Spotify and 👉 Apple Podcasts. 

Dwight is our first very own psychodynamic case study. Mostly, because he is fictional and cannot defend himself (believe me, he would if he could). But he also allows me to explain some very interesting psychodynamic concepts while making it fun. Freud and margaritas, anyone? 🙋🏼‍♀️

You HAVE to listen to this one. In my opinion it’s my best episode, yet. Ok, there are only two so far 🙄 But still!

I cannot wait to hear what you think 🫣

Oh hello stranger... who is that? 🧐 Still Alina Oh hello stranger... who is that? 🧐 Still Alina here 🙋🏼‍♀️ but I decided this morning it's time to clarify what I stand for. Therefore, I hope you'll also like the very not-original but clear name of "Psychodynamic Psychology". 

From now you can finde me under @PsychodynamicPsychology both on YouTube and Instagram 😉 

I'm currently on a YT summer break but will be back mid/late August. I'm planning a video on psychoanalyzing Dwight Schrute to bring psychodynamic thinking to The Office 🤓 

If you have videos you'd like me to make, let me know in the comments below👇 Best wishes, Alina
How to design a meaningful life? Alfred Adler had How to design a meaningful life? Alfred Adler had some ideas. Adlerian Psychology proposes that each of us has to solve the three life-tasks of community, work, and love to create a life of purpose. 

But before we dive into each of them, we need to get familiar with the fundamental ability Adler deemed necessary to solve those life tasks:

🧱 SOCIAL INTEREST

The feeling of belonging to a community and being able to extend empathy towards others. It includes the recognition that we all need each other and can’t make it through life alone.

Therefore, the three tasks of community, work, and love, that follow are actually social tasks.

🤝 COMMUNITY

The first life-task is finding your place within a community. 

This includes building and keeping friendships, having a supportive relationship with neighbours or other people in your tribe. 

Contribution and cooperation is more important than individual shiny success.

💪🏼 WORK

The second life-task is a logic continuation of last one. The question that needs to be answered is: 

How can you be of service to the greater community? 

What will you do for work that contributes to society and lets you experience worthiness?

❤️ LOVE

The life-task of love is a task for two people. 

For Adler, love is more than just the continuation of the human race, it’s a direct opportunity for us to experience ourselves as needed, loved, and significant. 

But, also, it requires the ability for devotion and commitment which is something many people struggle with.

😥 OBSTACLES

There are many obstacles we can meet on the way to fulfilling our life-tasks:

* Inferiority
* Our Lifestyle
* Life-Lies
