Fascinating excursion through your consciousness, Silvio, and your prose is excellent and rich--more of a Barolo than a Brunello (even though I know you don't drink wine!)
This is a very engaging post on the work of Stutz (and your own experience in therapy.) I love the basic idea that how we deal with any one person shows us how we deal with all people essentially. “That person represents the whole human race, symbolically”.
And I also love the mention of writing as an extremely therapeutic tool. One that I believe is highly underrated.
"One way to do this is writing. By writing, we enhance our relationship with ourselves. It’s like a mirror reflecting what’s going on in our unconscious."
And by the way, many studies have shown that the effectiveness of therapy is demonstrably linked to the therapist and the quality of their being and attention far more than any particular form or style of therapy. It's all about that human connection.

Loved it Silvio! I learn something new every time I read this and all your articles
Stutz was so good!
Lovely narrative style Silvio.

Silvio, your voice is wonderful. Very honest and naturally compelling. I look forward to more of The Semi-Serious View!
