their patients either. — Michael Parsons Living Psychoanalysis, “An Independent Theory of Clinical Technique”

“the therapeutic quality of an analyst’s engagement with a patient is linked to the capacity of the analyst to be enlivened himself or herself by the analytic process. Unless analysts find personal meaning in their work, there is not likely to be personal meaning in it for…”

the analytic session. For a patient’s past and possible future to become audible in the now, may call for a lot of unobtrusive waiting. — Michael Parsons Living Psychoanalysis, “An Independent Theory of Clinical Technique”

“the awareness that past and future are contained in the present moment, and that the analyst’s business is not to look for them outside it. However, it takes time for past and future to reveal themselves as ‘a lifetime burning in every moment’…, which includes the moment in…”

it is to hear from their own unconscious life, and who is open to their own internal surprises. — Michael Parsons Living Psychoanalysis, “An Independent Theory of Clinical Technique”

“If analysands are to hear from their unconscious lives…, they have to learn to listen out for them. What helps analysands discover how to do this is the unconscious recognition of being in a relationship with, and being listened to by, an analyst who knows how important…”

@AAJDeVille1 I can say with some confidence that the British Independents and their contemporaries resonate with me more than any other theoretical “group”…

@JayceLong Yes. Allowing my mind to continue "slouching towards Bethlehem/to be born" at its own time and pace was so important and helpful to me in my analysis. It's also made me profoundly allergic to the idea that I'm supposed to treat my own patients in 12 sessions or fewer.

“As an analyst I want to help my patients not to feel rushed. If ever I become a patient again, I want an analyst who will give my unconscious mind time to reveal itself, and give their own unconscious mind time to absorb the impact of mine, and time to reflect to me what…”

The psychoanalytic attention of analysts to their own state of mind is itself the vehicle of their analytic activity. If analysts do not listen to themselves in the same way that they listen to their patients, nothing psychoanalytic will happen. — Michael Parsons

@pe_tsar Most of the counties southwest of Louisville/Jefferson County, Ky should be included…

this is how i’d define the south

@hawkeyezebra @Ps4_Reconnoiter @mattbegreatyt Closer than your confidence suggest…

@JayceLong @Ps4_Reconnoiter @mattbegreatyt Good pic, but still would have been waived off of clock started immediately.

Clock didn’t start on time and Santa Clara’s Coach was BEGGING for a timeout and the refs didn’t give it to him. Kentucky got BAILED BIG TIME

@hawkeyezebra @Ps4_Reconnoiter @mattbegreatyt …

@Ps4_Reconnoiter @mattbegreatyt Much better. Official clock was at .2 when released. Doesn’t matter- it wasn’t called and Kentucky won, but it was missed.
