Dear Fuzzybear, I have not read The Shadow of the Object: Psychoanalysis of the Unthought Known by Christopher Bollas. (Is that the correct Shadow of the Object?) It sounds exceptionally interesting, especially as it involves early childhood social development and attachment, but I fear it is far beyond me. Among the first things I encountered in looking up the book is "object relations theory" and the world of Psychoanalysis.

Transitional Objects...

Hmmm...

?????...

I might read it, I haven't done so yet...

I once started to read ''Momma and the meaning of life''... I didn't like it (also it was a bit over my head although I enjoyed Love's Executioner

Has anyone on the bus read either of these?

I think I might read momma and the meaning to life again.... I didn't give it a fair try.

I just read this excerpt from it...

''Most of all, I had shown them that there is no such thing as a boring or empty patient - or group. Within every patient, and within every clinical situation, lies the chrysalis of a rich human drama. The art of psychotherapy lies in activating that drama.''

What do you think, little turtle? Or Rohag?

I was thinking of posting a list of songs I listened to earlier on today. I think people on the bus might like them.

Shine On

Chris de Burgh

I'm not sure why I remembered that song, or when I first heard it (could look it up of course)

In text:

Your trauma is valid. Even if other people have experienced “worse.” Even if someone else who went through the same experience doesn't feel debilitated by it. Even if it “could have been avoided.” Even if it happened a long time ago. Even if no one knows. Your trauma is real and valid and you deserve a space to talk about it. It isn't desperate or pathetic or attention-seeking. It's self-care. It's inconceivably brave. And regardless of the magnitude of your struggle, you're allowed to take care of yourself by processing and unloading some of the pain you carry. Your pain matters. Your experience matters. And your healing matters. Nothing and no one can take that away.

Daniell Koepke
