Anyway, I went to talk to my current psychologist today. We talked about Sarno and I brought her the Divided Mind book to look at. The book states that the kind of therapy needed is Insight therapy - diving into all the childhood stuff. This is exactly what my therapist does. So I am wondering if it would be fine to stay with her. She understands exactly what I am looking for. She said that her therapy would probably not be as aggressive as the previous one. With the previous one, I had terrible anxiety - I imagine that is just another distraction my brain created.
Suz- I've been successful in therapy precisely because i've learned how to trigger my own panic attack which lets me have access to the rage. So the fact that you have anxiety may be a good thing. It just means you are getting closer to the anger/rage that is lurking underneath. The important thing is to push into the pain and do so at your own pace.
Good luck with your decision. Either way I think you will make good progress on your symptoms. |
