"Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real." - Margery Williams Bianco, The Velveteen Rabbit I consider psychodynamic psychotherapy to be, fundamentally, a learning process focused on your Self - your thoughts, feelings and behavioural patterns, your fantasies and wishes, the realities of your developmental history - and any discord therein. This kind of learning makes use of an Other - someone you can ask to listen as you express your ...
