Excerpt
Excerpt: Well, I think depth psychology is anything that seems to take a long while and a lot of money. But my sense is that what it does about patient, would be one thing about it. And I think it's got a rather Zen sense of inquiry about it. That when we go into it, we're not necessarily trying to fix our particular problem, like our fear of flying or whatever. That that might drive us into the room to pay attention to ourselves. It's more a question of where is my life going, and who am I, and those kind of questions tend to get addressed. In my case there's a kind of interest, a kind of trust in what the unconscious is trying to do as well as what my ego level awareness is interested in. In that way, it's rather like Zen. Zen rather directly attacks the ego; whereas, depth psychology tends to more directly heal with it, rather than karate or something like that. But in both of them the unconscious is brought out more. What is greater than us that is also in us is invited into the room.
