Science to be alive. The dialogue between therapist and patients in humanistic therapy (№ 396096)

We must take care to assume any obligations. For a long time - long before its application to psychotherapy - Frank was trying to make your life safe with nihilism. He rejected all values, all relationships, all their own obligations. He thought he was free, but was emotionally deprived and was forced to reject your inner voice. During therapy, Frank ventured to comply with obligations - in the beginning just regularly attending sessions and paying for them. Then he discovered that can buy a lot, after parting with his negativity. This led him to connections with other people, and finally he was able to commit to regular work, the compromise in respect of their appearance and clothing, long-term educational and professional goals. People tend to focus. They are always intentional - at least to some extent (for example, the original intention of Frank - not to have relationships and obligations). If I want to be truly alive, I need to open or create in your inner centre and the intention to move in a certain direction (not necessarily in the sense of social or material achievement). And the sense of a journey is rather in going than in coming.
