There’s a great deal of anxiety, which comes when doing a deep meaningful psychotherapy. Therapist might be frightened by the fact that he might uncover something in his patient that he himself won’t be able to deal with. So in return therapist keeps the relation superficial, and in a way that makes him feel omnipotent to control his undiscovered anxiety , where his patient is doing fine and the patient continues to be the perfect patient to his therapist without doing the meaningful work.

It’s illusions of safety for both patients and therapist that the boat hasn’t been rocked and life is full of rainbows. And there’s no escape of such anxiety for both.

training as a therapist without being required to be in therapy yourself and have supervision on your cases is nothing but theoretical training. And theory alone doesn’t qualify a therapist.

Your training journey:
50% your own therapy
30% your supervised cases
15% your own continuous reading( books, papers, journals )
5% seminars and peer discussions groups- nonstop till you retired.

the patient need to you be always curious about everything, the moment you stop. it’s the end of your practice. You’re always almost never sure of anything, and everything is up for discussion, inquiring and questioning.

«For defensive and other purposes our patients need to make refuges of various sorts. We see at once that a delicate technique is called for from the analyst, a technique which both accepts a patient’s need to make a refuge of the analytic situation, but, at the same time, analyses it. In this way the analyst averts the danger of so becoming what the patient requires that he deforms into an enclave what should be an analysis. Our patients feel, quite rightly, that the analysis of their refuge will change it, and bring exposure to what they fear they or their objects – in the analysis, the analyst – will not be able to bear. As important as not enacting an enclave with a patient is not pushing and forcing a patient out of his refuge»

«Any interpretation which a patient is able to unearth for himself is more impressive to him, hence more likely to produce an immediate and lasting curative effect, than any interpretation offered by the therapist »

Frieda Fromm-Reichmann

[Osama Bin Nujayfan @osamaist]

«We could say that there is one collaborator we have in analysis on whom we can rely, because he behaves as if he really had a mind and because he thought that somebody not himself could help. In short, the most important assistance that a psychoanalyst is ever likely to get is not from his analyst, or a supervisor, or teacher, or the books that he can read, but from his patient. The patient—and only the patient—knows what it feels like to be him or her».

- Wilfred Bion

[Osama Bin Nujayfan @osamaist]

«It appals me to think how much deep change I have prevented or delayed in patients by my personal need to interpret. If only we can wait, the patient arrives at understanding creatively and with immense joy, and I now enjoy this joy more than I used to enjoy the sense of having been clever. I think I interpret mainly to let the patient know the limits of my understanding. The principle is that it is the patient and only the patient who has the answers»

it’s a difficult task to suppress your needs to be validated and to take the win from a patient in psychotherapy, as they need to be the one who appreciate themselves for becoming who they are afterwards. And yes you’ll take your gratification and wins from something else outside the session. they’re not the source to fulfil your own needs and wishes. And that’s a difficult reality where it needs time , supervision along with you’re own therapy.

[Osama Bin Nujayfan @osamaist]

We may, prematurely and naively, become certain of a diagnosis based on only a partial snapshot of a person, forgetting the layers buried beneath the surface, layers that can only be reached through a genuine desire to understand the human being who is trying to make sense of what is happening within him.

As well as Your own reflection alongside with guided reading while in therapy adding to it a supervision for your early cases as a novice therapist will add to that layer of your base.every new patient is a new way of therapy(without losing the base)-being a good enough therapist

[Osama Bin Nujayfan @osamaist]

the therapeutic relationship is a base for whatever modality of psychotherapy. And even if it wasn’t intended to, it was the base for an effective psychotherapy. Being in therapy as a therapist as a part of your training is crucial elements for developing that skill.
