Thanks for comforting words. Do you have an experience of your own from psychosyntesis therapy?

I agree on what you say that they donīt treat depression and anxiety in a formal way but they kind of still treat those conditions or handle with them in different ways as negative thinking, feeling low and such are present in therapy.

When it comes to suicidal thoughts I donīt know, I've mentioned those and she knows I still have some contact within mental health care and there are facilities to turn to if I get really unwell so perhaps she relies on that.

I guess I donīt want to question her too much around things like endings, the length of therapy as Iīm afraid that will rise unneccesary thoughts and discussions. Soon itīs summer and then perhaps it'll be a natural break in therapy and weīll then have some kind of evaluation. She has though as late as today said I made progress and that the process can take time so in that aspect she doesnīt seem to hesitate. Perhaps itīs just a feeling I have, perhaps there really is some kind of hesitation from her side.

I believe Depression and anxiety are symptoms and conditions of living in a modern world full of stress and chaos.
I understand your therapy is not conventional but it sounds like you have both worked together well and I don’t think by telling her how hard it really is will change her mind about working with you.
