So, tomorrow I would be going for my first session on Psychotherapy. Dont know if Im nervous or excited. I think thats what people refer to as mixed emotions, dunno. Well, Im not bogus, necessarily. Its for spiritual growth. Nigga gotta man up. See, Im vulnerable to what Psychiatrist call Passive Dependency Personality Disorder. Lay mans term; I draw self-worth solely on relationships. As far as Im concerned. Now, the bad thing about it is, people you love are not always going to be around. At some point, you ought to do it on your own. Loved or not, life goes on. Love is separation. Being born on Twin-ship, thats the root of my depression. I shadow on my brother. Excuse or not, Im blessed and cursed at the same time. Good thing about it, apparently, Psychiatry happen to be my vocation. I cant wait to learn from Susan, my therapist. Im worried about transference though. My moms second name is Susan. I could end up seeing her, unconsciously, as my mom. Not a good thing. Nevertheless, its overdue. I should have done it along time ago. See, everybody should go for Psychotherapy. For spiritual growth and self actualization. The root of our neurosis can be traced back to our self righteousness to avoid confronting our shadow. Carl Jung, my favourite Psychiatrist, wouldnt stop talking about the shadow. Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected ~ Carl Jung
