“No one who, like me, conjures up the most evil of those half-tamed demons that inhabit the human breast, and seeks to wrestle with them, can expect to come through the struggle unscathed.“

Maybe I’ll write more here about my experience w/ my psychodynamic analysis w/a wonderful relational(but non conventional) analyst who reminded me I was a poet. A little Sexton-y tbh,(and hopefully w/out the tragic ending obvs) as an analytical thinker and student of po/mo literary analysis from the mid-90s it’s been interesting to see the ways my education shaped not only my writing but also my self.Also I’m in love w her. Duh. #psychodynamic #psychoanalsys #mentalhealth #writing #psychology
