This is a sort of a cult I was born into but still believe in. Psychoanalysis isn’t therapy and finding a good psychoanalyst is as hard as finding a good artist. Most of you who think you’ve gone to therapy have never been to Psychoanalysis. Analysis was fashionable, then it wasn’t, then it was... now my feeling is it’s no longer fashionable. No matter, it’s an advantage to have dipped your toes into the psychoanalytic waters. I don’t think it makes you “annoying” or “bad at art, or whatever" that’s a cope employed by people who are resistant to productive regression on the grand ole couch.
