Five Concepts Of An Application Paper

The purpose of the application paper is to define five concepts in our own words from each unit and apply them to the personality we originally described in the initial paper providing specific examples. The five concepts I will be using are the following; Freudian slip, Defense mechanism, Secure attachment, Flow and Thrown-ness.
The first concept I will present is the Freudian slip. The Freudian slip also known as Parapraxis is defined as to make a mistake in speech, memory, or physical action, while thinking of something else. It is like when someone says one thing, while thinking about something else and the wrong words comes out instead. An example of Freudian slip is when IZ says something but means somethings else or when she makes a mistake in memory. There was a time that IZ was looking for her phone, all over the house and she could not find it. She traced back her steps and found her phone in the fridge. There was another time that she locked herself out of the house and her 9 month old son was inside. She just came home from her son’s pediatrician and was already feeling stressed, she took her son inside the house first and went back outside to get the rest of her stuff. When IZ went to open the door, the door had shut and the lock was on. IZ forgot her keys inside the house and left her 9 month old son inside

Csikszentmihalyi’s theory of flow is to be in a state of mind in which a person concentrates on a particular activity with energy, enjoyment and energy. It is like when someone is in a zone enjoying a particular activity. An example on how IZ gets in the zone or let’s say flow, is when she wants to do a project at home. IZ likes change and she likes to see things differently, change the color to her house or move furniture around. The first thing she does is analyze her project, and slowly gets in the flow and just goes with her idea. A recent project she has done, is converting her sunroom into a second living
