Find a way to be honest with yourself

I saw a psychiatrist once, in Beijing. A graduate student at Beijing Normal University, she observed me, and her actions were clear at a glance, but still useful, not because she told me "you're normal", but because her knowledge added new annotations to events as I understood them , has the power of a theory.

There will often be times like this when you want to tell someone who doesn't really matter what happened recently. I actually want to tell people I know, but they are far away. And I can't replay it in my heart over and over again. The effect of what I say is like peeling off a cocoon. How to describe and express it can directly reveal the heart.

After reading Jung's book, I started to record all the dreams that were clear when I woke up. This project was sometimes huge, like writing a split-shot script, and sometimes faced a long break. It's still quite useful overall, because situations that cannot be achieved in real life are mostly compensated for in sleep. Few people stop to think seriously about what they crave, or where their core dissatisfaction lies, so the method of recording dreams provides a shortcut in the opposite direction.

I stumbled upon this American drama recently, and people who are used to watching the ups and downs of the plot will definitely feel bored to death. Each episode is a conversation between psychiatrist Paul and his patient, 5 episodes per week, 4 fixed patients plus the 5th day Paul goes to talk with his mentor. I watched more than 10 episodes in one go, like receiving 2 courses of treatment.

I can't find a psychiatrist right now, but Paul's questions often force me to question myself. I always feel how important it is to find a way to be honest with myself.
