Well, sorry i butt in. It was a trigger
and i am an impulsive person under some
strain right now.As for therapy, everyone is free to do as
he or she wishes. But deep questions, deep
pains... these are matters that you yourself
know the answers to, if you stop deceiving yourself, if you take the time to be honest
with yourself and accept your shortcoming or
your anguish or your guilt. Then you will be
your own man and can trust yourself.To rely on a psychotherapist to unearth the
"unconscious" or suppressed facts, reveal them
to you and tell you , now you can go and play
with the kids, you have my permission-- is not
going to make you a man. And as i said the
fee may just keep you dependent on this stroking of the ego. Any answer you get to your difficult life questions, will not come from you, they will come from the psychotherapist's mind, or bag of academic tools.Unless, you are biologically disabled mentally, the only way to find the truth is to look within yourself. You do have a self, and you do have the answers, though you may be afraid to face them.
