I underwent 5 years of analysis. Once in it is difficult to leave and before you know it you have spent more than $100,000. And it is very painful. Ask your analyst about how difficult and hurtful transference will be. I consider analysis to be an addiction -- takes big bucks, feels good sometimes but most of the time you suffer from withdrawal, and you will need a therapist to recover when you finish. Sorry, can't recommend it. Save your moneyand take the nice vacations your analyst will with your money. Hop
