Among the diverse expressions of the unconscious and its access points, J.-D. Nasio places the phenomenon of repetition at the center of his teaching framework, which is influenced by Freud and Lacan, in order to derive principles for a remarkable reorientation of psychoanalytic treatment techniques. I repeat, therefore I am! While positive repetitions lead to self-discovery and self-affirmation, successful decisions, and creativity, pathological repetitions manifest as recurring traumatic childhood experiences that result in self-alienation, tragic relationships, neurotic suffering, addictive behavior, and perpetual failure. In these repetitions, the unconscious reveals itself as a force that is subject to both the life and death drives.
