What is psychological trauma from the perspective of psychoanalysis? Psychoanalyst Artyom Baranov will offer a fresh look at a topic that is often avoided or simplified. The lecture will provide an opportunity to view painful experiences differently, understand their significance, and uncover the deep mechanisms of the psyche. Psychological trauma is not just a mark of a past shock. It is a phenomenon we encounter much more often than we tend to think, and it can subtly shape our personality, relationships, and life scripts. But how do we discern what truly affects us-and where is the line between pain and growth? In the lecture "Psychological Trauma. A Different Perspective," psychoanalyst Artyom Baranov will offer an unconventional understanding of traumatic experience. Through the lens of psychoanalysis, he will show how trauma can become not only a source of suffering but also the beginning of inner work and transformation. The focus will be on deep understanding of human psychological life rather than medical diagnoses or everyday psychology. Participants will learn how trauma shapes perception, affects self-esteem, and influences relationships with others. Artyom Baranov will discuss how the unconscious deals with pain, whether by repressing, sublimating, or, conversely, fixating on it. The lecture will be beneficial for those who wish to understand themselves more deeply, work with people, or have experienced difficult events and are seeking ways to make sense of them. Complex topics will be revealed through accessible language and real examples. This is not just a lecture, but an invitation to dialogue with oneself, an attempt to find new meanings where there was previously only pain. The format of the meeting will allow for questions and discussion of what has been heard in a warm, intimate setting. We share how to organize leisure in St. Petersburg.
