Friedrich Ebbinghaus Thoughts ! (From a Psych Student)

OKAY!! Like the title says I am a psych student. This is one of the reasons I love Sigmund so much. He's a psychologist (who seems like based on subtext, specializes in cognition. imo.) which is fucking sick.

THAT BEING SAID. I love Sigmund's pseudonym so much. Lemme explain lemme explain.

I know for a fact the last name is from Hermann Ebbinghaus. Bc who else. And guess what baby Ebbinghaus was known for his research in MEMORY. THE FORGETTING CURVE. The Forgetting Curve suggests that people tend to continually halve their memory of newly learned knowledge in a matter of days or weeks unless they actively review the learned material. beautiful love to see it. And the testing for that was super interesting blah blah blah I'm not gonna get into it.

However, I was trying to think where Friedrich comes from. I initially thought of Friedrich Nietzsche. But that didn't make sense in my head all the way. THEN I REMEMBERED FRIEDRICH PERLS BITCH !!!! He coined "Gestalt Therapy" Which is a form of psychotherapy that's centered on increasing a person's awareness, freedom, and self-direction. Alleviating unresolved negative feelings like anger, pain, anxiety, resentment, and all that good stuff !!!! AND THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE WITH HIS PERSONALITY AND THE STUFF HE WRITES IT'S INSANE.

Now okay I know these are just theories but oh my god. It's so fun to think about and it DEFINITELY feels intentional. God bless. I am Sigmund's target audience.
