I'm currently studying for a test in Psychotherapies, specifically Gestalt therapy. Here's what my notes say:
-True growth starts with awareness of how one is affected and how one affects others.
-We need to clarify, be in contact with reality.
-We need to identify and trust what we genuinely feel and want, being honest with ourselves and others.
-Be Fully Present: problems: living in the past, worrying about the future, clinging to illusions of shoulda' coulda' woulda'
-Contact: be in touch with what's emerging here and now, moment to moment.
I'll pass the test, I don't worry about that. The point, though, is that I'm failing at life in these areas. I'm an existential mess, without a firm grasp of reality. I blame the internet. And blogging. I type these messages and send them into an ethereal plane, where you, who are of questionable reality, read and perhaps respond in the same frame of nothingness.
Yeah, I'm definitely over-thinking this.
