I would like to talk about two things in this session. Firstly, of the castration. A question that you have probably heard from your analyst or somewhere else. psychoanalytic speech or text. The psychoanalytic therapists and psychoanalysts we usually talk about castration without often noticing what the other may understand with such a concept. There are those who can think of the castration as something that limitsthat alibi, and then they react negatively. Offended.
There are those who take it in a very specific way. cut something. And, although it is true, the example we usually resort to is the early experience of everything boy or girl who discovers her sex, the truth is that the castration It is present during all stages of life. It is this experience that confronts us with reality and makes us see that our fancy It wasn’t as possible or as viable. In the end, the reality It always ends up imposing itself on us, and the truth is that it is not always so pleasant. But come on, we are castrated from the very moment of our birth, when we discover that the intrauterine state was not eternal and that from birth we have to do something to survive. Start breathing on our own, for example. And in the end, facing reality, even if it is emasculating, is better because it strengthens us. In Culiacán, the word castrara has an interesting meaning. We use it as a synonym for “annoy.” And this reality that is imposed on us, for example, in the mornings when the alarm clock rings and we have to go to work, in the end drives the person to live, to integrate into his activities. Castration, then, constitutes us, it orders us.
The omnipotent and the grandiose is not the healthiest. Although, in reality that is a symptom for many culichis. Nobody wants to give way when driving, everyone wants to be the first to be served, we stop with the car at street intersections over the white pedestrian crossing bars, etc. It is also true that not all. It also happens that everyone knows someone or works for someone who gives you unemployment. Etc. This fantastic and omnipotent hallucination reveals itself against the emasculating reality, to which we should adapt in order to live in a more respectful and inclusive society, with a culture of legality. Where do I want to go? Well, yesterday was Teacher’s Day. Freud I used to say that analyzing, educating and governing are impossible tasks, and well, it turns out that teachers had to assume one of these three impossible tasks, that of educating, and why not say it, to a certain extent, that of governing.
Many times at teachers They have to receive the impulse attacks of their students. Be recipients of their aggression, their anger, their artistic creations, sadness and joy, etc. And well, every teacher, as a good human being, cannot remain immutable in the face of so much unconscious affective mobilization (in most cases). I would say to teachers, just try not to be reactive to your students’ emotional situations. Don’t fight with them, don’t argue. Although they love them and see them as children, the truth is that they are not. There are many stories of students and teachers like that of Matilda and teacher Miel, but many others that are conflicted and difficult. This becomes more complicated when children or young people come home with emotional and training deficiencies. How is it possible that a student doesn’t say please and thank you to me? Well, although in fantasy you would like all the students to have minimally this or that manners, the truth is that you have not raised all of them. And part of what you have to do is just that, castrate them. Castrate? In what way? Pay attention! Castrating does not mean that you have to fight, castrating is giving reality, setting limits. The student cannot use the vape in the classroom, he cannot take his classmates’ supplies and break them, he must do his homework, etc. Am I being clear? Neutering is also about setting limits, it is helping to grow. Because in the end, in terms of psychic economy, it ends up being better to adapt to these rules of coexistence than to always live in opposition and adopting antisocial or sociopathic behavior. Limits to recognize that my rights end where yours begin. I end where you begin, and even if you want to, you cannot be overwhelming. You have to give others their place and learn to share existence.
Teacher, teacher. Thank you very much for the delivery and dedication you put in. Thank you for everything you contribute to the training of your students. Your actions have an echo in their lives, an echo that is heard even as the years go by. Peace and good.
