Re: Pshychoanalysis anyone?

Toofat, enjoyed reading your recap of your therapy experiences!

I would agree, I have some fear about going into places that I have boxed off, it’s difficult because I don’t even realize I’ve boxed them away, so when they come up, they can be quite overwhelming. But as my teacher/therapist says – “don’t you feel more alive when you’re experiencing that?” – I really hate to answer yes, but it’s true. They are part of my life experience and walling them off means I’m killing off part of myself. So bringing them back to awareness is bringing me back to life, however challenging that might be. At least having those experiences in the presence of my therapist is a safe place to deal with them, and he’s always around if I need to call him, he’s very careful to let us know when he’s away and unavailable.

Not sure if that came across ok.
