Personally, I think this is great, both the movies and the talent (gift?) to construct fantasy. These may be much better than meds.
Therapists as surrogate parents... That wouldn't sit well with me, either. Analysts of childhood I can accept -- reserving the right to question and possibly reject their analyses, but re-parenters, no.
