My friend and fellow blogger Ben Casnocha
asks "Should Everyone Go Through Therapy?". I'd have to answer the
question, yes. It's important to know that I subscribe to the belief
that the examined life is the one worth living. I know it's not the
only way to live -- but it's a core assumption to MY answer to Ben's
question.
I've been a big believer of therapy. I see a therapist
now and have just starting seeing the person more than once a week and
admit that it's been an eye opening experience. I've started to inquire
and explore my unconscious in a way that I never have before. Powerful
stuff that is very difficult to explain in a blog!
I've used
therapists in my marriage and in my work life with good success. It's
always useful to have an outsider "listen" and "reflect" back to assist
in processing.
Ben -- the real answer to your question is another
question -- "Should everyone go through therapy?" ...well, Ben, forget
everyone, do you think you should go to therapy?
