Ideas from psychodynamic approach

I’d like to discuss the fusion of sugerego and values I learned. Superego represents the mind that what I wish to achieve in an ideal world and it regulates my desire, behaviour and speech. The key question is what kind of source that I refer to when the superego is formed. For myself, I think that relates to what I learned from some individuals and church. I am a believer since I was a kid, and I believed that the teaching from the bible is what I wish to follow in my whole life. As a result, the Christian value became the ideal value that determine what’s right or wrong and guide me to become the person that I wish to be. On the other hand, I met many good people at school and church. They did a lot of great things to help other people because of their religion. I was attracted by their personality and doing; thus, I wish to follow these role models’ path and act like them when I grown up. That means my superego was gradually formed by learning from value of religion and some role models, and most of those values are overlapped. When I became an adult and encountered struggles in daily life, I noticed how these values deeply affect me. I found that it’s challenging to completely follow the values when I face people that run counter to the values that I trust, and that make me pain to follow the value such as ‘love your enemies’. I think the struggle between my superego and how my ego balance reality and ideal is the biggest challenge for the past few years. The struggle not just affect how I work, but also challenge me how to maintain a proper relationship with various parties.
