"Even with emotional understanding, there is some work that needs to be done. One may go through feelings of anger and sadness while doing this work. One may go through a period of feeling numb or neutral before they heal emotionally. This is the work, it may take a while. And yes, it is difficult, but well worth it"
Morgan,
I'm confused by what you are saying here. It's as if you are implying some specific 'technique' must be done in order to 'do work'.
I find it impossible NOT to do work almost every day in psychodynamic therapy...but the beauty of it is-it's individualized to what comes natural for a person, according to one's strengths and positive qualities, rather than some manual or defined 'tecnique' designed for the masses.
What specific 'work' are you referring to? Maybe I am just irritable, or maybe I am just misunderstanding you. I know you are going to school to be a therapist..but assumed, perhaps wrongly, you were in psychoanalytic therapy yourself.
