So I guess this is kind of personal but I feel that if you discover/know something so wonderful and beneficial you should share it with others. I am studying to be a therapist but Ive never truly had the experience of being in therapy. Needless to say I figured that was kind of odd and to be completely transparent, theres some things I want to work on. So I went last night to my first intake session and it blew my mind. Being asked questions about all aspects of your life like that really invites you take a good look at who you are and what youve been through in its entirety. Ive never told anyone all my shit like that in one sitting before, in fact I realized how much I have forgotten about (or as Freud would suggest, repressed). In the words of Carl Jung, everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. Telling a therapist your deepest, darkest, saddest shit (past and present, which we all have) encourages you to actually face it and feel it in a safe environment. ts beyond powerful, cathartic, and a catalyst for immense self growth. My appreciation for my profession has grown even more profound and I couldnt feel more grateful.
