2022-08-13 ------------------------------------------------------------------ It's been an emotional time. Some of these shocks I keep getting hit me in a physical way. I got some information that made me reconsider my relationship with someone, and these news hit me like a gut punch followed by sort of a lethargy. This physical aspect of my mental state reminds me of what I have read or heard about depression. Maybe I should investigate towards that direction. It doesn't seem very appealing subject to me at the moment. If I remember correctly, depression would be the repetition of those patterns, not the patterns themselves. So, maybe I'm ok. I wish there were better options for therapy. My anti-authoritarian core makes me despise the basic therapy approach. They just sit there, trying to make themselves "look" neutral. Maybe they even think that they are being neutral? To me it seems that the psychologists themselves have said that there is the unconscious with it's unrecognized biases. How then should a therapist better relate to their client by repressing the biases? I think what they should do is to level with me, and just be a person, who happens to have all this knowledge at their disposal. Now they just make themselves look like they are the authority, and an uncomfortable authority at that. I also don't like the fact that the therapist types this stuff on their computer, and there it will wait for anyone to break in and sell it online. So, I think my personality makes me very bad candidate for therapy although I am very good at puzzling throught these things with the sort of language that a therapist would find close to theirs. I guess I will just have to keep puzzling on my own. ------------------------------------------------------------------
