You re right, we re not in the same discussion
I fully agree with the whole approach of therapy and medicine needing to change, fullheartedly.
Dont take this as an offense, I would prefer to discuss this in a separate thread, for this one is not about the system but personal healing. So I would like to offer what works i stead of focussing on whats wrong with the system!
You know, one disadvantage of a forum such as this is, information easily gets buried. There are questions and people might post helpful answers, but after a couple of days, the threads get buried under loads of transient stuff, so I d try to focus on rinzlers problem here.
You only need ONE good therapist, you as a single person only need ONE.
And that ONE definetely is out there!
It usually is a part of the healing process to be ready for that and to „move“ there bit by bit.
And, definetely, counter- projection and transfer is a part of everyday work in therapy, every therapist has to deal with that natural phenomenon. It starts to happen each time you enter a relationship, and therapy is all about relationship.
To illustrate my point, I ´ll use an example from my life:
There is a guy I met over the internet who was and is in deep trouble.
Over the course of maybe a year, we exchanged many hundreds of emails.
I wrote down most of what I found out in my own healing and traing, as well as many experiences of working with others.
In the end, he had a comprehensive map of how blockages, issues, problems arise in our early life stages, how the play out later in life, how to recognize them, how to go about healing them.
Additionally I shared almost all the tools I used in my own healing and work.
This was actually a complete guide to self healing, although not that structured.
What did it help? Almost nothing!
The guy has not been able to use this information, to use the tools.
Why is that? Is he an idiot?
No, not at all, he actually is quite an intelligent man.
The crucial aspect that was always missing is PERSONAL CONTACT.
Because of that, as I described in a post above, I (and most of all he) have always been dealing with the defense mechanisms of a little child.
And there was no one present to assure his safety.
Because of that, he actually always was and probably still is fighting to survive, and so cannot afford to relax and start to heal.
If you have those kinds of issues, its very very hard to do it alone, not impossible, but it would require such a level of trust, faith and self- responsibility, that this can not be expected from most people.
The only thing that can help then, is, if you have suffered enough.
And this can take many many years for most
Therapy is a much faster way
But I am not saying its impossible!
Right. I get what you're saying Agua.
Like I said, I'll get a better therapist. Although I don't know exactly how to find that better therapist or how to get their services. I'll figure it out though. Until then, I'm learning whatever stuff I can to move forward in my healing process. Just last night, I discovered a mantra that has caught my interest: the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra. It's a pain in the ass having to learn a whole song for a mantra, but I have the means to learn it. Might help to sing that. I'm also learning other stuff that I find useful, but I'd rather not talk too much about it. "Trust, faith and self-responsibility" huh? Well, Reaper's drilling that LAST part into me. The first two though? Those are going on the list

Thanks Agua.
