How you feeling about "Baby Reindeer" and it goes against Sigmund Freud beliefs

[Belacqua]

The idea that you can be happy if sexual repression is solved etc.

Now what this TV series on Netflix does well on is. It criticize both atheist liberal media industry, whether its Hollywood. But also religious institutions like Catholic Church.
Whether its drug rape in hollywood or whether its pedophilia incident in Catholic Church.

Overall the issue is finding yourself, and thinking having sex with one you love can solve the problems. But it doesnt. Because it is just a bi product of something. Its not who you truly are. What you truly are is you. Friends, family, people or meaningful things.

So i am glad how honest this series is.

I think you're using Freud's name here as a kind of metonym, to refer to the idea that repression makes us unhappy and we can be happy if we bring up what's been repressed. 

Your use of the term makes sense, since this idea is associated with Freud in the popular mind. But we should probably be aware that Freud himself would never agree with such a simple view. 

Granted, he thought that repressed desires can make us miserable. Nothing which is repressed truly disappears, and it may well return in another form, as a symptom. In fact, a symptom, for Freud, is generally a socially unacceptable way of attempting to deal with a problem. 

But the idea that the problems caused by repression can be solved simply by bringing the repressed desire back to the surface and acting on it is far too simple. In fact people often repress things because they really shouldn't be acted on -- though they need to be dealt with in a different way than repression. 

I think the "let it all hang out" view of dealing with repression is a post-Freud thing that mostly comes from post-War America. Certain psychologists and gurus led groups of uninhibited people thinking that it would make them happy to show absolutely everything. The cliche of the repressed '50s housewife versus the hippy with no inhibitions comes from this. 

And now that you mention it, the simplified view is much more suitable to Hollywood than to a subtle thinker like Freud. Hollywood demands Hollywood endings, in which problems are solved in the space of a 90-minute story. The sort of never-quite-resolved managing of melancholy that Freud envisioned would never make a good Hollywood movie. 

(But I've never heard of the "Baby Reindeer" show before, so I can't comment on that!)
