Psychoanalytic therapist | saying less | underworlds, mostly

Good therapy asks with you:

- Why you do the things you do
- Why getting what you want does not make you happy
- Why that dream repeats
- Why you’re great at some parts of life but shitty in others
- Why you can’t get over it
- *Why logic DOES NOT fix ANY of it*

In my dream the analyst wrote, “Tx Plan: I will continue being with being”

In my dream I said “The artist’s job is to identify unconscious forms and consider them alive and conscious/willful and give them form”

@RCarhartHarris it was an OK ending, just beware!

So many contemporary psychoanalytic case write-ups introduce a patient as "attractive." What should we assume when an analyst leaves that out

But there's too much here that's unspoken
And there's no tomorrow in sight
Could you love me if I was broken?
And there's no going back tonight 🖤

Your baby is born already knowing the sound of your voice and those of close family members.

As their hearing develops, babies become acquainted with all kinds of sounds in the womb - from their mother’s heartbeat and digestive rumblings to the muffled (but distinct) sound of her voice.

Beginning around the 23rd week of gestation, they also begin taking in sounds from the outside - with research suggesting that newborns can distinguish the sounds and rhythms of their mothers’ native languages and more readily soothe to familiar lullabies to which they were exposed in utero.

While fathers and siblings obviously lack the benefit of the internal amplification system associated with mother’s voice - their voices can also become a familiar and comforting sound for baby. It just takes time and exposure.

I was so touched by this video of little Jason speaking to his sister in utero.

It’s remarkable not only because of the tender way he addresses his unborn sibling, but also because of the compassion he shows for his mother, who is experiencing painful contractions. Jason explains that their mother loves them and even tries to strike a bargain in exchange for her tender handling by the baby.

Simply beautiful.

Talk to your bump. Read. Sing. It’s not too early.
