In reply to psychoanalysis..., posted by twinleaf on June 18, 2009, at 15:18:29
I now do feel offended by this post. First, I have ever right to my opinion. Second, I have made it abundantly clear that my response comes of a place of care and concern. Garnet sounded incredibly fraught with despair. It sounded like she had been manipulated and battered by her experience with that therapist. She came back after calming down and explained that some of that was her interpretation, and that the therapist was actually quite kind and intelligent. I then supported her decision. Bringing this up after it's over is beating a dead horse.
> I go to a psychoanalyst, and am having a wonderful experience with him. It is a modified form of analysis, as i sit up. facing him; also, he is very responsive- not a blank slate at all. Why be biased against psychoanalysis, or any form of therapy? Why not just be respectful and appreciative that there are kinds of therapy which may not be right for you, but which are great for others?
