I hear ya Scott. I think if you found the right therapist, they could help guide you in a way that you could eventually break free, at least to the point where you would go back for periodic visits or brief periods.
I do believe there might be some amount of angst that comes with allowing oneself to become vulnerable in psychodynamic therapy that may scare people away. I also believe that allowing ourselves to be this vulnerable is the only way to really have a chance of resolving inner conflicts. I also think that if we have not tried psychodynamic group therapy, we probably have not had a chance to go further with our healing and growth. These types of therapies are supposed to make someone feel anxious at times, if they did not, they would not be working. Feeling anxiety is a natural response to facing our internal conflicts-as are feeling sad, depressing, rage, and anger.
