yes i know im obsessed. i love psychodynamic theories. in a way it is my new religion. sometimes this scares me. at times i believe i am heading blindly down a path following the voice of another nobody. perhaps this is true. i think i am prone to follow when great truths and mystery are at stake. i am not sure completely how to reconcile this unquestioning loyalty except that i think i do question. i may be very eager to jump off a cliff after the person in front of me, but i think i look around and critically evaluate the situation before leaping. sometimes, i admit, i plunge headfirst onto a rocky coastline, but a great many other times, a sufficiently deep body of water welcomes my freefall. as always, "i dont know", but i do think i am being honest.
i think freud had a pretty good handle on the subconcious. his implications about the lost self, the disowned self, and the true self are pretty sharp. knowing may be half the battle, but it certainly is not all of it. if only awareness were enough - life would be a ton easier.

the irish are the only people impervious to psychoanalysis
I kind of think the school of psychoanalytic thought says more about Freud himself than about how to best practice therapy, but it is certainly interesting (and why wouldn't it be? He was a giant coke addict).
Also, from what I've read of transcripts from therapy sessions, being in psychodynamic therapy would be my own personal hell, so its hard for me to see how it would be helpful for others, but I guess some people dig it.
CBT all the way, what-what!
what is CBT?
why a personal hell?
are you irish?
is the irish thing just a joke or is their a meaning. i am half irish- does that make me half impervious?
