Oh Also, I'd like to add I think for many the 'obsession' part comes down to attachment needs. For many people therapy activates deep old attachment wounds..wounds that many have spent years figuring out ways of navigating, avoiding or hiding successfully...It opens them., exposes them but doesn't actually fulfil many of the longings many have spent years masking....giving many of those with deep attachment wounding a feeling of preoccupation or obsession....Obsession has such negative connotations associated with it but really I think many therapies and therapists indirectly cultivate it by missing so much of this.
Thanks for this!
