Introduction to Meta–Therapy
There are people walking around in this world who are internally suffering. The suffering of some is that of confusion; they don’t know what’s going on or what to do. They feel disoriented and inadequate to living.
Some live in darkness; they despair of life itself, they have no hope, and they suffer depression and despair.
Some are anxious and fearful, they sense threat and danger everywhere they turn and they feel helpless to handle the threats of life.
Some live with an internal war going on inside them— a war of their drives, their needs, their expectations, their frames, their meanings.
These are the walking wounded — people who desperately need healing and wholeness. People who need the healing of therapy. Therapy isn’t for people because they’re crazy, but because they suffer an internal wound in their insides— a wound in the mind.
People who need therapy move about in the world ineffectively and inefficiently due to the blocks and interferences inside them. They often sabotage their best efforts. While they may know what they want to say or do, when it comes time— they can’t. They don’t. They are blocked.
Life can throw any one of us for a loop—at any time. A hurricane, fire, car accident, job loss, the death of a loved one— and we suddenly reach the edge of our coping skills. We feel overwhelmed, stressed out, we fall back to the cognitive distortions— suddenly we need therapy.
“The object of therapy is to get the client out of therapy and actively and productively involved in living his or her life.” Dolan, 1985, p. 29
