I have often thought that it is simultaneously the most real and the most unreal place in the world. A contradiction. But the most strange thing within it.
The boundaries, limits, and construct of the setting make it the most unreal; yet these are precisely the elements that make it the most real, even more real than any other relationship in life. For me, therapy is the 45 minutes of my life where I can have just a taste of reality-- I can never drink enough. I can feel real for a little while, and then I have to leave, back into the world of surfaces and constantly shifting masks and lies. I feel like I am thirsting for the reality that I drink in gulps for a few precious moments each week.
it hurts.
