Get therapy. (read all 17 entries…)
News from the Couch 3 months ago

After 3 weeks of vacation Doc is back. Finally. He didn’t say much, coz I had to fill him in about what has happened during those 3 weeks, which was LOADS of stuff.

I can tell he was very pleased with me. And, y’know… sigh…


And this was our latest amazing episode of News From The Couch! Next week, same channel: Will Vetch finally have anything interesting to tell? Is transference really healthy? Stay tuned for the next episode of News From The Couch!

You know I will be excitedly awaiting

the next update!

You did very admirably during that looooong vacation!

that I did

Hehe. I think I am turning him into a magician.
Coz he keeps asking me about that “Hexen und Heiden” stuff (“Witches and Pagans”).
I have met some Munich pagans via a German board, the PanPagan, and of course I am telling me Doc about that. I think in the beginning he was a bit worried that I might be some fanatic psychotic lunatic… after all “magical thinking”, “magisches Denken” is a very negative term in German psychiatry.

But when I told him about my Lammas Tide ritual this year, that I made a list of things that I harvested, sorting them into things I wanna keep, things I need to cut back, and things to compost, I could tell he was pleased.

Coz, y’know, I think magic and good psychological therapy are quite close. <|8)

Agreed!

And I am glad you have a doc with the sense to recognize that.

So am I!

Way it turned out I am really chuckling – how I wanted s/o totally different – a spiritual woman who offers family-constellation and stuff; and how I wanted anything but analysis.

And now I’m on the couch, with a male at my back.
Though it’s not what I thought an analysis would be.
Mostly it’s me doing the blah, which is typical, as far as I know; but he is sometimes interrupting me, giving practical advice, which to me seems unlike typical analysis.

And family is not a subject at all. In the beginning he told me to distance myself and not interfere, and that was that.
He doesn’t really want to hear about problems with me Mum and Bro, he wants to hear how I earn enough money to be totally independent from me Mum (she owns my flat).
And he is friggin right, of course.

AND it is working. I am distancing myself, and it is working perfectly fine.

And as for the spiritual stuff, well, I am carefully introducing him to that. (insert madly grinning smilie)


Erm. Sorry for that long blah. I felt the need to sing type me Doc’s praise. The transference, y’know. <|8)

It does sound as if he is on the right track. Especially I think it’s good that he is making you keep the focus on the things you have power over.
