> Yes, exactly, Scott. I think it does happen to us all, randomly, in our interactions with others.- we are such a social species and connections are vital to us. I think I am in a minority here in relying principally upon intensive therapy to help me heal from my mother's absence during my earliest years of life. I don't think I know whether you have given therapy a major try - have you? (if you want to answer, of course).
Psychotherapy was the first thing I asked for when I was in high-school. I was actually resistant to the idea that my depression was biological in origin. I have used psychotherapy frequently over the years; always profiting from it in some way. I haven't had psychodynamic therapy, though. My early years were fraught with physical abuse and neglect. It helps for me to understand how damaging this has been. I might never have had depression were my early years more nurturing. It is hard to know.
