Well, i do not wish to rain on anyone's
parade, and i see from these posts, that
so many people feel they benefit from
psychotherapy.But personally, i do have this question, which
has not yet been answered: What if the therapist
is insightful enough to make you aware of what
the problem(s) IS in your life. And imagine that
the problem is something criminal against you, just
hypothetically, or that you have a terminal disease, or that you need medications to alter
your mental state which has brought you to her or him? What does the therapist do then? Do they give you an address of a lawyer or a doctor or a psychiatrist that would match their expertise and right-on analysis of what has been bothering you?What I am trying to say is, does self-realization through psychoanalysis get you anywhere, other than just realizing that the reason you have a scar on your waste is because your mother or father abused you by burning you when you were a child. Would the therapist suggest the address of dermatologist?
That kind of thing? Does anyone understand what I am trying to say here?
