Psychotherapy heresia: Part 1 - shouldn't anyone be able to do it?

Psychotherapy heresia: Part 1 - shouldn't anyone be able to do it?

During my years as a psychotherapist who is probably an activity than a job title, I have preserved the secret longing that people develop hearing capabilities and sensitive skills by deepening their consciousness that enable them and enable them to heal and enable themselves. This idea is a kind of heresia (since the time of Freud and Jung, the status of psychotherapy is striving to raise a religious status), which means that therapy training, regulation, registration, licensing and general professional utensils, which as someone (I forget, who it was) would make Jesus an illegal guide.

But while I have personally through the hardships of personal therapy for many years, both theoretical and experience -related training, supervision by the therapist, etc., which provide me with enormous respect for the "profession" of psychotherapy, I feel and urge that this is a natural reaction to human problems - and a reaction that has become complex and up to a certain degree. Complicated reaction to the probably craziest world in which the human species ever lived.

in the pursuit of happiness, we inevitably move away from it. Of course, this is because we go in the wrong direction. Happiness is inside - not externally. Or to express it a little more clearly: If you have not dismantled the inner seam of happiness in the inner areas, you cannot expect a person or an event in the outside world to bring you luck. It is the same argument as that that says that one cannot understand, perceive, perceive or experience if there is no part of God (actually you do not experience God because the spiritual areas work according to completely different laws, the transcends the relative world, but here we actually came into deep water) and this too would of course be long ago, before the holistic era in which we currently live, a heresia have been.

It is this business of the inner world (or internal examination or inner journey), which tends to deter the outside people (ie most of us). After all, they have nothing to point out for internal research - no photos, no certificates, no medals - only the subjective advantages that can have a positive effect on their lives. We live in a time overwhelming materialism, in which the individual, like never before, is very important in human history. What we have - how many qualifications, achievements, belongings - defines us in a world that is primarily tailored to manifested individual wealth.

Before you reject this argument, note that the prevailing communication between individuals professional activity, material struggle and performance is what you have done, where you live, how many children or grandchildren you have. Rarely will they talk about internal conditions of emotionality, spirituality, energy, psychological experience or interpersonal intimacy skills. At least this is by no means common.

Exactly in this area of ​​inner experience, life makes sense and therefore worth living. Only if we can be with ourselves and can fully inhabit the inner areas, can we get close to our true potential, develop as humans and live a mutual relationship with the outside world that is nutritious and enriching, lively and authentic.

To be with ourselves, we really have to learn the skills that enable us and enable us to be with others. This is the topic that I will discuss in the second part of this article.
