I do. I go to a psychoanalyst, and, after about two months, I began using the couch. I do that regularly now, and have found that it helps me to regress into childhood in a way that makes the trauma I experienced much more real emotionally. And there is something about the analyst's being so close by which is very helpful; as I am dealing with old fears and terrors, there is a new, safe, reassuring "object" right there for me to connect with, and basically, have a new, good experience with. I am finding psychoanalysis an immensely powerful and helpful thing to do, and am glad to have found another person who is doing it- I thought I was the only one! How has your experience with it been?
