According to a certain psychoanalytic bullshitter/genius (opinions are highly divisive ), the unconscious issue of how one is being perceived from the outside (by the Other, as an object) is an inherent and immanent issue which arises in the infantile stage (infantile, as in, literally - pre-speech) when one begins to notice that one exists not just subjectively, but is also being perceived. (There's tons of other implications and intricacies of this on which I'll skip).
Whenever something gets borked up during that stage of unconscious development, there arises this particular issue of the subjective perception becoming that of being weak/helpless in comparison to the Other, which appears to be all-powerful and, when bad stuff happens, mean and cruel. This, later on, results in the discrepancy between one's subjective perception of one's actual power (which at some level is being subjectively perceived as that of an infant, so pretty much powerless) and one's actual power as a fully grown organism (which is as powerful, or may be even more so, than the Other) - then one becomes kinda stuck in comparing themselves to the Other and/or pleasing the Other to avoid harm, in a way (I'll skip on some further intricacies).
The solution is trying to find a way to subjectively acknowledge that one now has as much, or even more, power than the Other. The subjectivity needs to be first experienced, though - hence the need for release, I think.
