I took some psych. courses while in school, and I really liked Jung's work. The more contemporary Jungians have also brought some of the Humanistic framework into their work as well.

I gotta admit...I was never a fan of Freud..he seemed too misogynistic and too rigid for my taste. He only saw people's "pathology" if you will, and not much else.

With respect to my former T, I could never really buy her rationale that my pain triggered hers....my life was from the Brady Bunch compared to hers. She is a CSA survivor; I never experiened CSA. She's the mother of two grown kids, I don't have any kids and am not very big on kids. I struggled mostly with depression, and of course, she was working thru a lot of things regarding her CSA....I'm just happy to be out of there. Something triggered her, and it wasn't me.

Hmmm...time for some geneaology research on your part! That would be a trip of you were related to Jung! Your grandmother sounds so interesting. It's never too late to further study Jung =) I just think his perspective is so much healthier. I've always been partial to Jung, Adler, Rogers, et al because of their more wholistic views on human beings. We are so much more than our faults and experiences, and they really take that into account.

Truth be told, I had spiraled downward so much toward the end of working with my ex-T; I was beginning to see myself as nothing but this bundle of problems and hardships because that's how she chose to see me. I was just wanting to regain some equilibrium in light of getting laid off and getting my car stolen shortly thereafter(It was a Honda Civic...one of the most frequently-stolen cars because of parts. It was recovered a few days later, but was esstentially gutted) and she was wanting to plow ahead and really keep me off balance. It really escapes me how a therapist and her supervisor can discharge someone in my situation without benefit of a follow-up. Just boggles my mind. I digress...

Do look into your "family tree" =)
