Psychotherapy a stop-gap measure? Inadequately filling in for meds that are yet to be developed? In my honest opinion, and very respectfully submitted, Jah, you've obviously been seeing the wrong psychotherapists. I very firmly believe that meds are only a tool to be used in the healing process. If you feel that one day a pharmaceutical is going to heal you, I think that you're denying yourself your own personal power to be firmly engaged in your own healing process. Life is fraught with pain. No pill is ever going to take that away. Learning to live with it lovingly without being afraid is my holy grail. You call yourself Jah. I am friends with quite a few Jamaicans, and they have a saying I love to use. Jah provide, mon! Jah lives in you and surrounds you. I and I will see you through. You know what I'm talking about. Peace and love.
