I am in a funny head space today...
Sorry Dinah, I don't know what happened to this thread. Except that I started out all excited and became fairly disillusioned fairly quickly.Maybe it is because for a while now I have been wanting to understand more about psychoanalytic theory. Because in terms of therapy... It seems preferable (to me) than CBT (which isn't really a coherant theory so much as a hodge podge of different types of interventions kludged together for their pragmatic value). But maybe thats not very charitable.
I don't know. I was hoping I would find something... But I don't think... I really don't think that it is something that I can accept. And they would say I'm in denial. And there simply isn't a way to refute that.
But I'm probably being uncharitable.
I don't know.
I'm just going through something or other right now. Some kind of conflict about what it is that I'm going to do. I really wanted to do more coursework. Learn some more about lots of different things. But no can do. Need to pick something... Something that I will be focusing on for 3 (or 4) years. And so... I really need to hurry up with that. And the topic I liked... Well someone has already written a book on that and I finished the book kind of going 'well, that is that then' and I've sort of lost interest...
So what on earth am I going to do?
And I'm kind of going 'anything anything I can do anything at all and so what would I most like to do?'
And I don't know. I don't know.
Maybe...
Beliefs / Desires / Motivations / Intentions.
Is there a fact of the matter?
If so then what is the relationship between the mental facts (about those states) and the physical facts (about ones brain)?It is an old topic...
Has been around for centuries...
Still. Maybe I should just jump on the bandwagon and hope that along the way... I learn stuff / figure out stuff...
Because who am I kidding, it amounts to the same old: what the f*ck is wrong with me? and how the hell is it supposed to go (ie if there wasn't anything wrong with me) at any rate?
?
Angst.
Or something.
Maybe I'm getting my period
sigh
