PsychKnows was created out of a simple dissatisfaction: psychology has been reduced to diagnosis, symptom lists, and therapy rooms. It has become something we turn to only when we feel broken. But we see it differently.
PsychKnows treats Taxi Driver as seriously as any case study on urban alienation. We read Kafka like a clinician reads diagnostic manuals—because both are trying to name the unnameable. We approach mythology not as quaint stories, but as humanity's first and most sophisticated attempt to understand consciousness, trauma, and transformation.
This isn't anti-science. It's pro-depth. Psychology lost something essential when it moved entirely into sterile rooms and statistical models. We're here to find what was left behind.
Our Core Tenets
01Depth Over Simplification
We reject the reduction of the human mind to motivational quotes, personality labels, or viral trends. Behavior is messy. Meaning is complex. We choose the complexity of the truth over the comfort of a shortcut. If an idea survives scrutiny, it stays. If it doesn't, it goes.
02Stories as Mirrors
The myths of old aren't just fictional tales born of ignorance. They are intricately crafted maps of our collective emotional reality, projecting the deepest fears and highest virtues of the mind onto the canvas of history.
03Emotion as a Signal
Anxiety, sadness, and anger are consistently painted as enemies to be eradicated. We view them as dedicated messengers. Every emotion felt is data attempting to be read by consciousness.
This is a dedicated space for the relentlessly curious. Bring in your threads to weave meaning from the unknown.
Therapy sparks transformation. Dialogue illuminates the process.
