> So - I'm sorry I haven't been around much, I've been kind of a mess. And I'm sorry this got to be so long. (not that this is new for me.) Anyone else have one of those "ah ha!" kinds of moments - and how do you make conscious those unconscious pockets of crud?

>I think you're lucky to have a therapist you can relate to. I am stubbornly against psychotherapy. I think i am aware of my consiousness but i make cognitive mistakes due to emotional drives, like fear. But after a turn-around of a crisis in my relationship, i am warming up to the idea that *cognitive therapy* may have been good for me if not both of us. I think that much of my lack of trust comes from a lack of communication or clear messages that alleviate fears or doubts because of bad communication.
In the absence of believable messages, i think the person is left with making a choice on the basis of his or her will alone-- heck, it's almost like a leap of faith. I do prefer truthfullness as a foundation of faith, though.:-)
