 What a Job! Telling People What They Hate to Hear

I’m a psychotherapist with a real tough job—I tell people what they hate to hear. They hate it because I expose in their psyche the issues and emotional attachments that they vigorously try to defend against.

They’re grateful on one hand but dismayed and annoyed at the exposure of their secret game of self-defeat and self-suffering.

I’m an in-depth psychotherapist as well as an author, and I’ll try to explain one of the most amazing things about the human psyche. It’s something most people have a hard time accepting or believing. 

We make an unconscious choice to recycle painful feelings over and over on a daily basis. Unconsciously, we hold on to our unresolved conflicts and negativity. We have an inner dynamic deep in our psyche that actually compels us to operate in this self-defeating manner. 

Though it defies common sense, we recycle unresolved emotions such as deprivation, criticism, rejection, betrayal, and a sense of helplessness. All the while we claim to be innocent victims of the malice of others as we cover up, through our psychological defenses, our participation in our suffering. 

The deeper we initially go into our psyche, the more we encounter resistance and even fear. We need a good guide to lead us through this underworld. I’m able to penetrate into the psyche of my clients with the best therapeutic knowledge for deep inner work. 

The payoff is a higher level of awareness as well as freedom from tensions, anxiety, and from a sense of failure. 

This attachment to negative emotions is a basic flaw in our human nature. It is the essence of the dark side or “shadow” that hides out in all of us. It can produce, among other emotional frailties, defensiveness, apathy, self-pity, self-doubt, and self-absorption. It weakens us and makes us prey to addictions, compulsions, fixations, and phobias. 

My in-depth therapy is quite revolutionary. It helps us to establish in new inner reign of peace and inner harmony. To set an appointment for a phone session, call me at 734-222-1499 or at 734-414-9406.
