People can't even face up to their own, personal nightmares. That's what psychological defenses are for: keeping traumatic levels of pain from gaining full consciousness.
Most "psychotherapy" involves strengthening defenses in some fashion (i.e., making the person even MORE neurotic), which is the same goal as people have in drinking ("I'm feeling no pain!"), drug use, sex with strangers, and every other thing people do to keep painful feelings at bay.
Every non-trivial experience -- and anything traumatically painful is THAT -- must be brought to full consciousness (intellectual awareness plus the appropriate feeling caused by the event or truth) for obvious Darwinian reasons. But -- Catch-22 -- trauma, especially in childhood, threatens to prevent functioning necessary for survival, as you can see in the demeanor and actions of even an adult trauma victim after, say, a bad accident.
It's possible to slowly feel and integrate trauma, including old, childhood trauma, but it isn't fun, it requires serious commitment, and therapists who specialize in this and who know what they are doing are few and far between.
Having been a Q-type truth seeker for decades, I am well aware of the level of corruption (vast and deep) in the world including sex trafficking and child trafficking, child rape, child sacrifice, and so on.
I can't really stand to even think about it. Same for government mass-murder; I have copies of The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression (the Foreword is titled: The Uses of Atrocity) and Rummel's Death by Government on my shelves -- and have actually read the books -- but I rarely have the strength (or desire, courage, or whatever) to dig into those topics any further.
Yes, I believe plenty of normies would literally become completely (or partially, in other cases) dysfunctional if suddenly confronted with The Truth about the Cabal, etc.
Doing therapy isn't about building up neurotic emotional boundaries to deny the trauma a person has gone through. It's quite the opposite. You work on talking about your traumas, diving into them, understanding them, understanding how they shaped you, and learning to cope with the effects of trauma in your day to day life. This is essentially the basic principles of modern psychotherapy. I think most therapists would agree with this assessment. It's basically like what you say should happen, which is a good thing, but your claim that "typical" therapists don't do such things is not true.
"Understanding" one's traumas, talking about them, learning to cope with the effects of trauma, and so on are NOT the same as experiencing the trauma (for the FIRST TIME, since by definition, repressed trauma has not yet been experienced -- it may be remembered intellectually, but it hasn't been fully experienced) -- and that is the effect and reason for neurotic defenses in the first place. "Understanding" trauma is intellectual; trauma itself is on levels below. Understanding can be helpful in the present, just as other defenses can be -- if you're going to have defenses, better to have ones that are harmless or even helpful in some way, but they are still defenses and not the same as getting well. Getting well is way better, although I believe only a vanishingly small percentage of the population is interested in or able to do such therapy -- and for that matter, those who are reasonably comfortable and well-functioning are not likely to seek (or in many cases to need) therapy. Not getting hurt in the first place (the importance of proper treatment of children!) is far superior to trying to get well after being traumatized.
Yes, I know that therapists and theorists believe they are doing what I talked about, but most of them are wrong, and here is one way to confirm that:
A major childhood trauma -- for instance, death of a parent at a young age, especially if that parent is the primary or only "safe" person in the child's life -- can take months of full-body sobbing, crying, and full-throated screaming to experience (as well as quieter action and integration). As more of the trauma gets fully experienced, less remains to be repressed; actually feeling the trauma drains it from the system as it becomes just an old, painful memory instead of a constant force pushing to rise into consciousness and causing act-outs in the present -- actions that are in some way appropriate to past, repressed experience but not to the present situation.
Any therapy that doesn't involve that level of emotional experience is superficial, and further confirmation about that is in the recidivism rate for many (most?) symptoms despite years of therapy.
Yes, I know this is seen as complete cranksterism by almost everyone. So are most of the truths exposed on GA, which doesn't make this one correct but does at least expose how deep and wide the Matrix is, if you will.
I had many hours of ACOA therapy involving rage work and I discovered much about myself and was given tools to continue the work to this day. Without these experiences I would not be here today.
I'm glad to hear that, mengderen. I know a number of people who have had similar experiences from various forms of therapy, or from AA -- which often goes well along WITH other forms of therapy -- and from following through on their own with things they've read. As I say above,
Understanding can be helpful in the present, just as other defenses can be
There's been a lot of ingenuity in creating different approaches to helping people deal with their feelings. Defenses aren't bad -- we couldn't function without them.
