I was really uncomfortable about the couch to start with, but now I've got used to it. It certainly is easier to relax and to speak honestly, as you are not so self-conscious. As for the whole psychoanalytic approach, I'm not quite sure yet. I've been in therapy for about 8 months. I really like the theory and think it makes sense but I still don't have complete faith that it will help me in the long run. I find it very intense and painful. Even at only one session / week. How often to you go? I seem to remember from a previous post that you are going twice a week. I remember your post recently about a breakthrough. I just wish I could have a really obvious breakthrough, but my therapist says it doesn't work like that and its a slow and gradual process. What's also difficult about the approach is just saying whatever comes into your head. Are you encouraged to do that? Do you find it easy?
