Psychological therapy, as we all know to some extent, mainly deals with our wounded past that occasionally resurfaces, becoming entangled in our current life and seeking healing. It involves scars left by old pains, fears, deprivations, disappointments, betrayals, failures, false and deceptive teachings, and mistaken behaviors of parents and all those whom psychoanalysis calls "the significant people in our lives." Usually, these difficulties, deprivations, and wounds carve out a fundamental symptom in each person: a lack of self-trust.
A lack of love for oneself. A lack of courage to seriously pursue what one yearns for, to take one's dreams seriously, so they do not turn into fantasies without reality and vitality. Because my parent betrayed me, I feel I am worth nothing... Because I was deceived by the teacher I blindly admired, I think I am a fool. Because my first love abandoned me, I am incapable of winning love. After so much pain I felt back then, I cannot bear to experience something similar ever again.
