Muxia.


 Only one thing left to do now.

To change the publish dates of these blogged words.

And leave this blog.


Or do I carry on?

To stay with it, learn more, to speak up for other clients who receive well meaning, lectures.

Aversive, defensive in-humane...

ending in

Erasure.

But - there is only one choice from this moment onwards..

To live, to carry on.

Because

This happens to others too.

+

Yet in one layer of the multiverse

I'm no longer here.

In the other layer

 I took all the sleeping pills and died 

outside his door, 

huddled

cold on stone, 

cold, 

My heart finally stilled.

No drama, just the truth of it.

These words were at are the end.

Psychotherapy: Eros and magic.

Plato believed that Eros would take us into a Higher truth and mystery, and Jung agreed. As Freud continued thrashing around with scissors snipping cruelly at Eros. Blood and feathers falling around him like tears.  I am certain that many of psychotherapy's best theories and explanations are a continuation of much older concepts and ideas - repackaged so as to appear new. So when Kit talked about fantasy 'with a PH '' I was trying to recall Ioan P Couliano's book:  Eros and Magic in the Renaissance.  Couliano explains that Eros was understood as the aspiration to transcendental Beauty. Plato places Eros as the link between physical existence and spiritual essence, we fly with Eros. In opposition to this - and Freud is regarded as  the father of advertising  -  Eros becomes chthonic, wingless, primal desire (libido) demanding in an inarticulate way, that the outside world satisfies our desire. To avoid prison the energy of Eros is blocked and redirected by the nume

Denial.

It has taken me almost two years to admit the obvious. I don't want to say that I'm a victim, but it is a therapist's responsibility to know what is going on within his or herself, and not let it 'contaminate' sessions.  But really - surely what happened here is his transference and my countertransference. If  I'd been 'the therapist' I hope that I would have noticed and understood that it was countertransference, because we would have spoken about it! But in his room -I wasn't able to ask him for his feelings or to describe what was happening to him, so I just couldn't get a clear enough picture. But this feeling of dissonance kept reoccurring. His reaction to my recording telling him of my feelings doesn't make any sense.  I hadn't 'broken' any rules when I was honest.  Nothing about his 'moralising' adds up. So - his transference and my countertransference?   I need to get clarity - I needed it then, I still need it

After several references in our sessions to how much he enjoyed coffee fueled discussions at 3 am . Said after the obviously coffee fueled type of discussions I create with him.  After the fact that our discussions obviously remind him of all those coffee fueled discussions he had so enjoyed at university... at 3 am... I dared to take this idea further. It was excruciatingly difficult for me to put what I wanted into words. But carefully, gently and slowly I explained that we could do something with this idea.  It was along the lines of, if we build it others will join...  More people, more ideas! So why was that so difficult to say? It still seems entirely reasonable - and indeed I'm part of a CPD group run by my first therapist - as a group of therapists we are all vulnerable, in fact being vulnerable if the only way to be in the group,  and all 'have each other's backs'. The difficulty is in the language, because I was using 'we ', making he and I into a
