The question is, who can give it to you?
Your spouse sees the world much like you. Friends spare your feelings. Colleagues drown in routine. Strangers are polite or don’t care. You’re left alone with your guesses.
Such a life’s like groping in the dark. You’ll bash your head or stub your toe for sure. Sometimes the hurt’s so bad you want to freeze forever.
What’s the way out?
Seek a place where people see and speak things as they are.
It’s no easy task. Special conditions are needed:
Participants gather to know others and themselves.
There’s basic trust in everyone’s good intentions.
Analytical dialogue, not casual chatter, holds value.
A third someone pulls everyone to meta-position.
Once I was sure a therapist wasn’t for me. Then I saw the worth of individual therapy, but eyed group work with doubt. And then…
I tried group therapy and saw that experience can’t be matched one-on-one. Just different tools, like a microscope and a chromatograph. Each has its own value.
A group is a model of society — one that can tell you everything. If you dare ask the deep question and take the gift—not always sweet, but always precious.
Such feedback clears your blind spots, like an eraser.
It’s a wonder how others help you become your true Self.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
