The Art of Sexual Ecstasy - Anand

[TSinAtlanta]

What does you being able to “take” the therapist’s comments have to do with anything? Are you trying to indirectly tell us you’re tough enough to take it? Still trying to boost up that wall, eh?
Cripes, I lost another !!@@*&^? post. How's that for repressed anger? Anyway, I just put in that thing about the therapist because I remembered it. If it makes you happier, I will take it out. The important part is I was working on anger at my Mother for my perceived lack of attention and affection from her (I think because of my being the first male of the siblings, I don't know). Anyway, here is the revised post:

You speak like someone who has a professional background in therapy? Actually, my experience (as a consumer) with therapy has been that anger does come up, at least in my case. My first therapist was a Gestalt, and we got into anger at my Mother right away. He suggested that problems I was having could be traced to anger at my Mother. Anyway, as a Gestalt, the therapist encouraged me to imagine him as my Mother and express all my anger and frustration at him in her place (the Gestalt). I had been aware of this anger because of dreams, fantasies, daydreamings, thoughts that came up at stressful times, etc. In all, I have worked with about 8-10 therapists and with all of them have expressed anger that I felt toward Mother and Father, but mostly Mother. The therapist we are going to see now is an Imago therapist. If you are a therapy professional I will not insult you with a description of the approach. Suffice it to say that he (the therapist) and I both agree that I felt abandoned by my Mother and am looking for resolution of this abandonment in my relationship with my wife. Now, that is the gracious response if you are a professional.

There, happy?

I didn't copy all the post about "shithouse lawyers" but it is there on the other post.
