[QUOTE="nlj, post: 637866, member: 17650"] Yes I agree, that is my experience. The one time I went for counselling, after it was strongly recommended, I found the experience very negative and traumatic. It opened wounds and left me with no way of dealing with them. I also felt that the counsellor had his own agenda and was constantly trying to lead the 'conversation' in a particular direction. I definitely don't think it's the answer for everyone or the answer for everything. Nature has provided us with protective mechanisms for burying past hurt, and it's not always for the best to dig it up. The issues raised here about distorted or false memories is also very interesting and the different perspectives that we may have on shared memories. Philosophy asks "what is truth?" and suggests that rather than trying to define truth, we should think about being able to recognise it reliably when it appears. I have a problem recognising the whole truth in my son's view of his life. [/QUOTE]
