I'm not sure if I understand the question completly, but here's what

"I am highly analytical, too analytical in fact. So for me, psychoanalysis would probably be the opposite of what I need."
My interpetation of that is... that maybe there is a worry that it's possible to analyze one's self too much, that someone could drive themselves nuts with it all. I donno;
I do know that when one starts seeing and recognizing their recreations, it can be really freakin' frustrating when one starts to feel like no matter what they do, the same situations keep reappearing everywhere in their lives in really "random" and obscure ways-"Number 23" style sort of thing.
I donno. I think that would only become a huge issue is if one ever stopped talking about what all is going on inside, all those weird things one never thinks is worth talking about-can get to ya, lol.
So, in this case, I would want to ask
Sunrise
what does "too" analytical look like for you?
What do you imagine happening?
All that fun stuff. I donno, lol
Take care,
