CHAPTER 4 - Aspirations and Reality

This work will try to answer how hidden childhood traumas, and the generated behavioral patterns that comes out of it, create a giant discrepancy between one’s actual life and the life that one aspires through messaging from television, commercials and the film industry.

A child, during a time of high emotion, makes a subconscious decision to dismiss to deal with the trauma in order to preserve the normality... This decision though, ultimately creates a pattern of a hidden blueprint, which later in life, gets constantly triggered by being exposed to the distorted facts, unrealistic goals, idealized relationship patterns and the wishful fairy-tale conclusions of commercial film industry.

But the fact is until this hidden blueprint is recognized and addressed on a subconscious level, the child keeps attracting the same circumstances and the same patterns that simply repeat the original trauma on a symbolic level.

So…it is at this point that I want to dive into a journey, to one’s inner self, to the subconscious mind, where the two realities (the codes of a hidden childhood trauma and the formulated messaging of commercial film industry) meet and I want to visualize this fascinating relationship in this unknown territory.

And its worth mentioning that this journey does not intend to conclude or claim anything in psychology’s field but rather to document a three layered case study of:
