Well, yes, I do go to a psychoanalyst, but I go three times a week, and sit up facing him, so it's kind of close to analysis, but isn't, really. He is extremely well trained in psychoanalysis, so right from day one he has expected me to say EVERYTHING. I also giggle, cry, begin tearing my hair out (I lost almost all of the hair on the right side of my head a year ago, and I kind of gauge how things are going according to how well my hair is growing in), but, still, he really does need me to say everything I possibly can, because, if I don't, he's lacking the information he needs to truly understand me. What he really wants is the stuff i don't want to tell him!
It's so true- therapy is just HARD. I do think, over the long run, we, as patients, will do our best if we have a therapist who can hear what we really need to say.
