Thanks here today. I feel both pro and con psychosynthesis in general. The pro is that it´s a holistic way of looking upon a person and that it stresses the importance of the therapeutic alliance and the therapist being a caring and kind person/therapist.

The con is that psychosynthesis isn´t accepted as therapy for mental illnessess and the theoretical framework has no certain evidence and there is no scientific proof that this type of therapy will work.

Do you have own experiences from psychosynthesis therapy?

I think I´m too afraid to ask her in a such a direct way about the time she is willing to spend with me. She today said that it takes time to work on certain issues and she initiated a new way of talking about things at the same time as she stated this about time. So it´s hard to know, sometimes I get the feeling that she can´t freely choose and that she perhaps is limited by her boss and others.

I also get the feeling that when I talk about depression and suicidal thoughts she doesn´t want to say straight out that those things aren´t what she treats but that she still thinks that way.

In the beginning she said they only give 10 sessions to people who turn to their church for someone to talk to but now we just go on and she tells me I make progress and that she´s happy I now can cry in therapy. But there´s still something, perhaps only in my head, that says she´s a bit hesitant.
