My therapist had worked with Winnicott (Klein on the bookshelf). But envy was a big subject with us. I had a diagnosis(?) of 'no sense of identity' (Eriksson?), which may be relevant in ways not obvious to me. Anyway today I was thinking about this (in a stressful social situation) and of my earler remarks about putting parts of myself all over the place and being bored with ego boundaries, and what I thought was that if you have no sense of identity (which is?) it's easy to sound profound in a vaguely Buddhist kind of way, and secondly why would you not feel bored within contentless boundaries. Needless to say all this is double dutch to me.
Yes, I'm Australian. I finished my therapy 18 years ago now. I really wanted to believe there were soul doctors, and in a sense perhaps I found one (but maybe I need another).
It's good to have someone to talk to about this.
