Once an experience has been ‘figured out,’ it is dead. Once a person is ‘understood’, he is no longer interesting, no longer a living, unfolding, mysterious person.

'I don’t know what 100% better is. At some point, as my patients emerge from desperate pain, or self-constructed prisons, or endless looping of the same bad film, there is an inflection point in therapy,

As a therapist, 90+ percent of your work should be spent sitting with patients doing psychotherapy. I hear horror stories from young therapists who have been trained to believe that 'treatment plans' and 'documentation' make them better therapists. The opposite is true.

I wonder what happens when a whole society is led to believe that their emotions are NEVER problematic, ALWAYS connected to reality, and, NEVER, symptoms of a dysfunction (stigmatic labels!) It would be a society that’s paralyzed; a society that lives in an infantile state.

In an era in which basic psychodynamic concepts are not taught at the undergraduate or graduate level (or, worse, are mistaught), therapists misinterpret phrases such as 'the patient contributes to' or 'resorts to' as implying conscious, volitional choice on the part of the pt.

I hate to break this to folks, but personality is not synonymous with scores on a 'big five' questionnaire

🧵One misconception about dynamic therapy is that clients 'just talk' with the implication that nothing productive happens.

As a practitioner, what can feel like a miracle is how new capacities can develop as a by-product of new experiences--some big, others routine. /1

Where mutuality and intimacy are lacking, the only alternative is sadomasochism. If two people do not acknowledge each other as separate autonomous subjects, then in one way or another they are dominating and submitting to each other…

A vital, difficult lesson to instill in young therapists is that competence is found in their capacity to stay curious & not “know,” rather than as knowledge bearer; a painful experiential lesson in accepting limitations & uncertainty often learned through deep personal therapy.

'When considering conflict, I find it helpful to remember Leston Havens' concept of ‘complex empathy.’ We need to maintain empathy for the patient's wish to change & for the resistance and the reasons for it. Anna Freud talked about this in terms of having empathy for the…” 1/
