psycho-analytic perspective??

J jillMember
anyone do this?? been referred to psycho-analysis by previous P, know it is long term, but i think i am actually tired of crying like a little girl, and the bullshit revisiting the past and being 'bullied' by T3 there...which led to my meltdown and panic attack, i don't know, seems i feel THROUGH with all that bullshit, and beating on pillows and coloring and bullshit she was going to have me do.

psycho-analysis is holding some thought lately.

i dunno. i just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO deparately want OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT of this f-ing bullshitttttttttttttttttttttttttttt that i am thinking of trying it. have an awesome rec i have talked to a number of times, told him today i just didn't know if i could handle it, as he is my age, told him i hoped he was unattractive...he asked me how my marriage was, i told him fine, he said we oughta be ok.

women QUAKE when the going gets tough and turn on you, is my experience, and i know, it was just once. but if he can handle the transference stuff, and i can 'be' without getting kicked out coz 'fat butt' over there can't handle a little anger, then, let me have it!!

oh, the deciding of who my next t will be.....puzzling....my friend, the t who told me to LOVE the PROCESS, NOT the therapist, is coming to mind...oh, she was right....the PROCESS...and ya learn a little from each i presume.

not that i am not INSANELY JEALOUS of those of you with long term awesome t's, but, till then, i'll just amuse myself with the deciding...till i fall apart about it.

ranting and raving alert....total nonsense....jill

Hey Jill,

I think Psychoanalysis is worth a shot. I totally agree with the "Love the process, not the T" statement. You should be aware that most Psychoanalysts are more neutral than empathetic.

Yes it is a long term process BUT you may find/discover new things after a few sessions only. Maybe you could try to do some research on psychoanalysis to see if it 'speaks' to you. If you feel it could be the right type of therapy for you then you can look at who could be the best T. Tell them upfront what you expect from a T, why it's important to you, etc...

mhp, are you new here?? don't think we have met. do you do pa?? i am not making a decision for a bit, but am going to interview a few. do you do this?? a MD?? or what degree does your analyst have??

i've been talking to a MSW, too, but that seems like more hitting the pillow stuff, and i think the kid is done.

i am quite intrigued, have read some beautiful stuff on it, and know the link is deep. not reachable by cbt. how much is your analyst?? do they have to be a MD? dang, these guys are high. a few women, too, but i am so afraid of scaring another off, i think i just like men better. i dunno, woulda said the opposite yesterday.

details, my friend!!?? jill

ok, my first dream interpretation. i won't bore you with the details, but NEVER have i remembered a dream. and i did this am, about the pa guy i talked to (as mom) and he was uncaring, detached, preoccupied as my mom was. i wrote it all down. so much was a mirror, and easy even for me to interpret,anyway, i am intrigued, and may go this way for awhile. still pondering, but, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....my unconsciuos has a lot to say. jill

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
