I the television show we can see that someone learns about psychology by evaluating the girls, what they do, how they do things. Whether its in school, out of school, emotionally, and physically. In this television show we also learn about the workings of their minds and their behavior. From this we know that Spencer is highly intelligent, and over-achiever, extremely wealthy who also is a very critical thinker. Aria is artsy, alternative, more of an observer, she doesn’t try to be in the middle of things but just tries to analyze everything. Emily is caring, sweet, and loyal, the strength, we can tell that she is very brave and a risk taker. Hanna is more generous, kind outspoken, sassy, and she is boldest out of the four girls.
The problems that they have which are also inside the unconscious are, problems from when they were kids, physical and mental abuse from “A”, and trauma from being kidnapped and held captive for over 3 months. These things affect everything they do. For example, they’re much more aware of their surroundings, they lie more but somehow more effectively. I don’t think the girls know that their problems that they experience now come from their past and unconscious mind.
Desires are an aspect of this television show represented through dreams, both desires and nightmares, when the girls dream about their desires they somehow become taken from them as dreams and given to them as nightmare which come true. That in some way represent their past, which leads to their future problems which also takes us back to the problems and trauma they still experience in their unconscious minds.
