Well, I'm not doing a "standard, traditional" analysis. I am doing a modern analysis. My analyst says that the only people he knows that do more than one analysis are ones that did a traditional one the first time. It's just that I do not think that my analyst believes that everyone has dissociated states. I suspect that he would say that some people have them but everyone. I think I will ask him about this today, I am interested in his response. I have talked here about what I call the "other Lucy", which is the public face I use in stressful situations, but when I talk use that term with my analyst, he always brings me back to what I am doing, why I need to act in a different way in stressful situations, what I need to do to use my authentic self at those times. It is indeed interesting how different approaches for for different people, and how important it is for a patient and therapist to be a good match.
