A phobia transforms anxiety into fear, & so attempts to quickly remove a phobia are to be discouraged. A better idea of what therapy might involve can be gained by considering this account:

Medical and therapy symptoms are very different, which is why therapists do not require a medical training, see https://t.co/yVJLpQ0q1Q

*A Divided Self? Much time and energy is spent censoring ourselves. For example, how often have we heard people say, I don’t wish to criticise you, but…? We might wonder why they raised the matter only to deny it.

The symptoms therapists work with are not medical in nature. Instead, therapists regard symptoms as a meaningful response to life’s difficulties, that we are somehow out of sync with life or ourselves…

‘That’s me!’ Our identity is shaped by our identifications - a process that begins in early childhood, particularly during what is known as the ‘mirror phase’

A phobia is far from being a purely negative thing.

By transforming anxiety into a fear, it allows someone to live a relatively anxiety-free life. However, the gain provided by a phobia comes at a price.

So much of our time and energy is spent censoring ourselves outside of awareness. We might say, “I don’t wish to criticise you, but…”? But why raise the matter only to deny it? Therapy can help you complete what has only ever been half-said.

How Others Shape Our Identity

I’ve revised post on how our identity is shaped by our identifications-a process that begins in early childhood, the mirror phase. Jeff Lynne talks about seeing himself as a success…

I’ve been familiarising myself with the challenges posed to counsellors and psychotherapists by the NHS’ multi-therapist model.

I’d welcome the views of others, particularly those who work within this model, what are the challenges and benefits?

When we can no longer recognise ourselves reflected in the words and images of others, we can undergo a kind of symbolic collapse, become abject. Our updated ‘Spotlight on Identity’ here, https://t.co/9yBNwictyo

In exploring the rebus principle, I’ve encountered a concept from linguistics that’s essential: parsing. Parsing refers to how we segment the stream of spoken language, a process that allows us to distinguish individual words rather than a seamless flow of sound
