I am a Lacanian psychoanalyst. Lacan's psychoanalysis is based in the idea that the unconscious is structured like language. What you say reveals the unconscious processes that underlie any issues that are problematic for you, or recur. Recurring problems especially, are well resolved when you work within the realms of psychoanalysis.
