quote:The weight of denied feelings can be gigantic and very destructive."
I have read your previous enties greenleaf, and some of Dr Alice Millers beliefs and concepts.
I think she has a great understanding of where you are coming from as far as your past experiences are concerned, and why you feel the way you do today.
I can only speak from the experience of long term therapy that helped me face my repressed rage, vent it in a controlled manner, and at the same time function in my today world. Without it I am sure I would not be here today in any capacity.
I was also desperate for the right kind of help at your age. I sincerly hope you can find it.
LOOKING FOR A THERAPIST
Tuesday November 18, 2008
" AM: Certainly, if I knew of some therapists who would be respectful enough to answer your questions; free enough to show indignation about what your parents have done to you; empathic enough when you need to release your rage pent up for decades in your body; wise enough to not preach to you forgetting, forgiveness, meditation, positive thinking; honest enough to not offer you empty words like spirituality, when they feel scared by your history, and that are not increasing your life-long feelings of guilt – I would be happy to give you their names, addresses and phone-numbers.
Unfortunately, I don't know them, but I still like to hope that they exist. However, when I am looking for them on the Internet I find plenty of esoteric and religious offers, plenty of denial, commercial interests, traditional traps, but not at all what I am looking for. For that reason I gave you with my FAQ list tools for your own research. If a therapist refuses to answer your questions right from the start, you can be sure that by leaving him you can save yourself your time and your money. If you don't dare to ask your questions out of your fear of your parents, your fear may be highly understandable. However, trying to do it anyway may be useful because your questions are important and by daring to ask them you can only win." Dr Alice Miller.
