Aych that first line already, what patriarchal linear denial of centuries of psyche, can you imagine sitting at the headside of a young women lying on a sofa in a dimlit room still filled with opioid fumes from yr pipe, placed in full insight to her 18thcentury cleavage & granted doctor’s superiority to ask & tell, book conveniently on his lap, … nowhere near da “father of psychology”, more da prime example of delusional biased whitemale superiority, flipping the fear of the clitoral power, only pleasure organ, into something as ludicrous & toxic as “penis envy”, guaranteed da most unreliable bodypart ever, I mean he did enough harm, stop rechewing this & dare question ….

This also aligns with Maclean Truine Brain:

Id = R-complex/brain stem/'reptilian' brain

Superego = Limbic system/mammalian brain.

Ego = Neocortex/The 'Decision Maker'/What is responsible for free will.

id - monkey mind

ego - self ( the story you tell about how you fit into one world and society )

superego - aspirational self

It's not rocket surgery.
