a big mess around psychoanalysis

since my childhood I've been involved into experiences of people that were attending psychoanalytic seats: kids, adolecents,adults...very closed ones, among family and friends. In the most of cases, I have to say ,they where really having serious metters to deal with- I have also (voluntarily) been to a psychologist for some 7 times or so..But my perception about the thing is really messy. after getting some distance to those things(because I leave somhere else etc etc) I find my self with ambivalent approaches to the so called "therapy", because I can recognize its utility in helping the mind to move itself from its closed points of view, giving some human support and listening(and more)...but on the other hand I've found it works a bit like a spiral:its possible tools become so much part of what a treated person things. self-consciousness gets very much affected by that language and mind find itself further enclosed in a new simplyfied structure.the most of people I know,after years, reflect on them self in pshycoanalitic terms.

I think it depends on the person. Not all individuals are going to go through life psychoanalysing everyone and themselves. It is a proven fact the psychoanalysis works for the majority of people. However, many times it is so painful that people prefer not to go through it.

hi, better this way... Unfortunately I found on my way 3 cases in which it apparently didn't work and I'm still "upset" by the steadiness of these situations.
