that sounds puzzling and superinteresting and i wonder if it works and why

my therapy (the one that saved my life & sanity) consisted of very intense and long discussions between the shrink and me.

rabbinical vs. quasi-zen approaches i suppose

at first i interviewed him at length about his job, actually. why he worked there and how he got to be a shrink. etc. i mean, i was hiring the guy, least i could do was interview him. over the years i got to know him almost as well as he knew me. in that way, i knew i could trust him. like-- don't just tell me something, but explain where you're coming from, and if i don't understand or think it's shit i'll let you know. so i often did.

anyway im rambling now. but yeah, this lacanian business is quite intriguing.
