Hiya! Hope I’m posting in the right place for some help.

I'm having a lot of trouble getting into my administrator account. I manage the email for a client, whose google business account is hosted VIA Wix. Recently they asked me to look into their settings, as for some reason, they do not have full access, and the system settings said they have to ask their administrator to change them. No problem, they emailed me and i went to log in and switch it.

However I can't seem to get in. Whenever I attempt to log in to google using the administrator email, i am told to sign in with an administrator account. I remember when i was first signing up, google prompted me to make a gmail account that was linked to my custom domain email in order to access their features. Sure enough, that email is there on the list, but when i click it, the page just cycles and never moves forward.

I have searched up this issue, and it seems that most people in the past either resolved it by realising they were using the incorrect email, or by clearing their cookies/cache and using an incognito window. I'm definitely using the correct email, and I’ve attempted to try the 'blank slate login' method, but no joy.

I am confident i'm using the right password and account, as i can log in with no problems on other google services.

I've attempted to contact Google's support, but in a shocking turn of events, it appears the contact form is not working for some unknown reason.

I'm honestly at a loss for what to do, and any guide on the internet has provided the same solutions which do not appear to work, or been met with silence. I've always been a bit fed up with Google's ridiculously labyrinthine internal ecosystem and the fact it appears to be suffocating under its own weight, but this in particular is driving me insane. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! I've posted here before a while back about my complaints with the (insane) costs of training to be a psychoanalyst in the UK, and how this seems to be casting the future of the discipline into question in terms of reduced uptake of new analysts. This came up in a discussion recently with a friend of mine recently (we were initially talking about how there appears to be an entrenched class divide within psychoanalysis) and they posed a question that I hadn't given much thought to before: if Psychoanalysis isn't regulated, what is stopping people just teaching themselves how to 'do' psychoanalysis without going through the accredited traditional routes?

While obviously accreditation and professional standards are important - and i was keen to emphasise this point - it did get me thinking: is there a history of 'self-taught' or 'self-authorised' analysts? I recall Lacan saying something to the effect of the only authorization an analyst requires is that they decide to become an analyst. Is this a recognised thing among Lacanians?

In addition, given that the original analysts (Freud, Jung etc) were each technically 'self taught' i wondered if there were any of their students who went on to practice without 'official' say-so.

Interested to hear opinions too regarding self-taught analysts in the modern day, if anyone knows of/has encountered any, or if they have the poor reputation i expect them to? I wonder if, given the generalised state of the economy and the slowness to adapt and inflexibility of psychoanalytic training schemes, that this may be something we begin to see from younger generations with an interest in the field.

Thanks in advance.
