the person becomes aware of hinself during the talk stuff…if the analyst is effective…
Yes, that’s one tool. Any others? I mean, has he taught you how to understand yourself both good and bad when he’s on vacation?
not while he is on vacation…i am on my own…no homework from him
So you can’t understand yourself without him? There’s nothing you can do?
anon—sure i can do stuff if i choose…maybe i need vacation…
How can I accept something that I understand to be bad?
Is understanding something as bad not the same as not accepting it?
What is the difference between thinking of something as “acceptable” and thinking of something as “not too bad”?
Do you like your mothers cooking?
If yes: how badly do you want to fuck (or use other word) your mother?
If no: do you sympathize with hungry orphans?
do you see me as a hungry orphan?
Do you think I like my mothers cooking?
Do you feel love for me because of my weakness?
Do you feel love for me because of my increasing strength under your care?
fc–all good questions…please one at a time…
I’m not sure what you’re saying. What stuff can you do if you choose? Self-reflect? Go for a walk? Write a letter?
Are you a psychoanalysis addict?
How does he say DNA contributes to MI if not for its mispellings?
he is not sure how dna gets changed…dna does change but he doesnt know that much about variation…
he says we need to know the cause …
Genetic mispellings are common in many major illnesses. Scientists, as we speak, are pursuing ways to correct genetic flukes. It’s the new science in biology. DNA does not change, but it’s genes can be split and repaired.
That was my thought too.
what kind of tools should he have…
He does?
So then that means that your psychoanalyst ‘controls’ your thoughts and basically tells you how you “should” think?
I might prefer one who says “Why do you say that” and leans toward you and listens attentively to your answer[s], not to his own expectation.
See, with my question, your doctor is giving you some tool[s], (self-observation and cognitive thinking), that you need in order to get at the truth of your experience and who you are. With that question he is more accepting of you which in turn allows you to be more accepting of yourself - rather than the response he had to the question.
Your doctor’s line of questioning halts communication in its tracks - the other opens it and it flows more easily.
Tell your doctor to stop being a patriarchal ass and to pay attention to you.
You, Turtle, you. If you want to “understand yourself both good and bad”, you should know how to do that. Has your psychoanalyst instructed you in how to do that on your own?
thank you arc—do you have any other questions for my psychoanalyst…roar
Yes: "Are you taking good care of my little reptile - and - are you teaching her by your example to do the same for herself?
If not - [size=200]ROAR![/size]
what is your question again…
…do you love the turtle?
Turtle, I have a question for your counselor…
This is a question that might seem trite, but in reality is very deep. And if your counselor can’t see the depth, then he can’t think as deeply as a psychoanalyst needs to be able to do in order to ensure good counsel.
“You (the counselor) know through a history of interviews that a particular prisoner is obviously narcissistic. You visit his cell one day and see that he has a picture hanging in an unusual location in the cell. It seems unusually low and toward the back corner of the cell, close to the foot of his bed. It is a picture of a female family member.”
The question;
Why did the prisoner hang that particular picture in that particular location?
Despite appearances, the answer to that question relates to you, turtle.
