> > I think too much analysis of anything takes all the fun out of it.. Boy, do I AGREE with that (newbie here)....I mean, we are ALL human...why can't LOVE, which is the greatest thing in the world; simply be left alone....to just......BE!!! We gotta analyze it to death (ick)...i Love my therapist (it's NOT Freudian "transference"); as my t (who is brilliant) explained it; people misuse that term....transference is simply the feelings we engender it one another.....duhhhhh...simple, eh? If you want a good laugh read my post entitled: I Had Wild Uninhibited Sex w/theraist (Finally!).....without a sense of humor, i would be drooling in a corner somewhere!

> in the interests of making it scientific rather than speculative...you sound like an intellectual---I am incredibly attracted to those types---they are rare---my t is the most intellectual I have ever known---been together for 3 years; and he still manages to come up with new stuff every week! wow......So, enough about ME, what do YOU think about ME?! LOL....P.S. We need to quit sanitizing, picking apart, examining, etc.....stuff; just let it be what it is....like love......LOVE is LOVE...no need to take any of the magic out...i love that word----magic...the world needs MORE magic, and less scientific investigations! So speeketh me! LOL.....Actually my story was published with the Ph.D.'s (amazingly)...www.psychiatricjournal.com...entitled: The Transcendent Child on Overcoming Verbal and Spiritual Abuse....love to hear what you think. Also have my own site: www.churchabusepoetrytherapy.com (voted out of a 31-year church membership, cause got a divorce after 31 years of abuse); born standin' up and talkin' back. Smiles n grins, very sassy
