>What do you think?
This is my 2 bob's worth.......
Our emotional lives, especially where we respond strongly to people, involve an often repeated attempt to solve by symbolic means an early childhood dilemma, by which I mean the problem we faced as young children trying to find a way to feel OK about the situation we were in. Psychodynamic therapy isn't great at elucidating these attempts, but it is better at giving us an idea of what this situation originally was.
Love, the people we love, is the stage on which we try to achieve a symbolic restitution.That's how it's been for me, anyway.
