New patients often asked me what therapy is and how it
works. Veterans ( anywhere from a month to a year) have already figured it out.
It's a unique kind of a relationship, I tell them. It is
mental alchemy: Two souls/minds coming together, and forever changing
each other.
So, what exactly
is it?
It's the most intimate relationship with someone you will
never get to know personally, but who will know your innermost essence.
It's about talking about everything without concern
that you are boring, because she sees not just your conscious mind, but also
your unconscious, and IT is infinitely amazing, and endlessly fascinating.
It's about finding the mother you have always dreamed of
and learning how to lovingly re-mother your own self, because this is how you
really begin to forgive.
It's about finding your wings and surging to new heights.
It's leaving someone
you loved deeply and felt equally loved by and knowing at the same time that it
is OK, that she will always by an indelible presence in your heart.
It's an Odyssey of the heart and mind that brings you to
an Ithaca of wisdom and peace.
