Are You Sublimating Your Career?

Sally Kohn: I think Freud was right about a lot of things in the kind of broadest brushstrokes. She says she grew up in a family where achievement was important and her dad would say, "The meaning of life is not to be happy" Kohn: Maybe that's a form of sublimation. Can you think of other professions that would have fulfilled you similarly? So let's see. You could have become a doctor. When I quit playing music, that's my first profession; one for some reason has been financial planner.
