> It's just very hard for me (the idea of therapy with another person)- I refuse to have anyone tell me how to percieve the world.
Would they be telling you how to perceive the world, or just presenting some alternative viewpoints that you might not have thought of?
> The concept of paying someone money to direct your (or help direct) your life is distasteful for me.
Yeah, I agree. The money part is awkward. But I guess they gotta pay the rent. And it's also worth it for the extra feedback she can give my pdoc, which has helped in our medication selections.
> I must suffer and triumph alone, find my own answers to life, and find my meaning.
But you are not alone. You have....Nardil! Sorry, I just couldn't resist teasing. You've come close to sending me begging for the stuff. Teasing aside, introspection is good and something we should all do. I personally don't do so well doing all my suffering alone - I get really frightened and isolated and logical thinking goes out the window.
> I just want to see those who are destroying our world to wake up!
Who's destroying our world? (Well, I could offer a few political figures for options, but that may not be what you meant.)Peace to ya,
Emme
