On Psychotherapy

It's kind of like sex.

You want to be explored to the core, and you are scared.

You keep asking yourself: can I really trust this person? What will happen when I completely surrender myself to him?

Will I finally realize that I am not just a lonely wanderer on this planet, that I am capable of joining someone , joining the human community?

and....

Bad therapy is just like bad sex.

You are touched here and there, but never to the right point.

You tried sooooo very hard to open up yourself.

And you feel sorry for that unlucky guy because he seems to be trying very hard, too.

Sometimes you feel something.....just a little bit.....it's very suspicious.

And you tell yourself :" Be patient, have faith.
Maybe things will be different next time. Something magical will happen."

And that life-changing next time never really came.
