Most psychotherapists do not tech pressure tech their patients to do anything in particular, because that is not psychotherapy—that's sales. I think the value of emoting, venting, tech and confronting is a hangover from the thrash-about 1970s. I studied the holler-and-hug techniques and came to believe that all the hysteria had nothing on deeply understanding another human being by listening and reflecting. Before The Good Son waves away the future of his love life, he might just want to talk about his mom. But if the therapist won't get off of telling him to confront, my advice would be to confront the therapist with her presumption and arrogance. If she doesn't become more complex, then confront the door. —The Second Opinion Several years ago, in the hope that you might offer some answers, I sent in an idea about what happened to me: My mother humped me when she was drunk and lonely.
