That's the thing. If someone tries to explain such things with simple words then it sounds like an elitism. And I agree that it sounds like this. But that's not the point. The point is something else. However, if I would try to explain it according to my understanding with more simple words then it would sound as more elitism (although the intention is something else). I guess one has to accept that.
I am personally deeply interested in psychoanalysis (and lots of the time deeply confused by it) and I understand how it can facilitate very powerful transformations in a person. I did not choose it because of elitism, I chose it because I was desperate and I figured that no other modality can actually help me (I'm still confident in that).
