After several years of suggesting my wife see professional help she has finally agreed (when thing got too much for her). I have seen therapist in the past and have always been mindful that they are only getting one side of the story so I tend to be nicer about the people around me then they sometimes deserve.
My wife is very social and is liked by everyone she meets but those who know her more personally know she can be a major *****.
I am afraid that my wife is going to start blasting me in her sessions (ex. my wife says I am lazy and I say I am never given any time to finish projects because of the kids) and the therapist is going to start giving my wife advice based on my wife's views of our situation.
I am being supportive and letting my wife know I care but I am not going to pry on what she went over in her sessions. I am hoping that the therapist invites me to a session or suggests couple counseling. Are my fears valid?

So we were talking about freud in high school. And i think he might be right about the oedipus complex? Boys do often seem to defend their moms a lot more when insulted, atleast more than when their fathers get insulted. And daughters don't seem to care or get mad over momma cracks as guys do. Also there are a lot of MILF porn out there. Kinda disturbs me, could freud be right?

I'm not talking about purposeful defense mechanisms here... I'm talking about the general mindset of society.

When I ask people how their day was they respond with 'it was okay.' I literally have to pry with three more questions until I get to a meaningful answer.

And it's not that they do it on purpose... it's just that people are taught not to open up.

Why? Why must we as a society be afraid to open up to our friends?

I have a policy with my friends (and even strangers) that I will answer any question that doesn't violate my right to safety or someone else's rights to privacy. You ask me a question, I will answer it, no matter what the topic.

What really surprises me is how people are about their sex life. Countless times people will bring the subject up, as if to brag a little... and then when I actually ask what they did... they clam up.

Not that I am some pervert trying to imagine them doing stuff... it's just that I expect people to be honest and open.

When people talk about World Peace, Communism or some other form of World Unity, there is usually a comment on how it is against human nature. If there was one thing we could wipe out of our human nature to make the world better (whatever your belief of a better world is) what should it be? Lust, greed, fear?

It is the fear of failure that "usually" hinders us from achieving our goals in life! We must learn to overcome our fears because there will always be obstacles. There is no progess without opposition.

Yesterday, I really didn't do much besides watch TV. After dinner I took my two girls for a walk and then when my son got home, I watch and played with them outside. I thought to myself how much I enjoy being with my kids like that and was frustrated that I had wasted the day watching television.
I started to think about all the other times I watch television instead of doing something else and wonder what keeps me from turning it off. It seems that in almost every other instance I do what is most enjoyable at the time (ex. Sitting in a plush chair instead of a hard one) but what is it about Television that is different?
Is it a form of functional sleeping or resting? Is it because it is something the whole family can do (since we are different ages) or is it because it is easy to do? Or is it something sinister?

I'd like to know if any of you would stay in touch with someone to whom you wouldn't intend to open up. If yes, why? If no, why not? Also, if you met someone who would want to stay in touch but had no intention to open up, how would you react and do? Thanks for sharing.

We all know how chatoic, uncontrollable and convoluted our dreams are. From analyzing my dreams over the years, I can detect they're primarily a complex, atemporal conflation (mixture) of various experiences. Dreams are usually the anti-reality of my reality.

The girls of my dreams, on the other hand, are always perfect! They are beautiful, flawless, intelligent, funny, kind, sweet, etc. How does the brain consistently recreate the perfect woman? Where does it get the template from?

I don't want to believe that dream girls are an anti-reality!

i worry about the environment, when i see an animal that doesnt look like it'sbeing cared for, i worry and get depressed. it can't be healthy i know, but i cannot keep from thinking. it's like i feel guilty if i don't worry because it seems like i don't care. i worry about so many things and about so many creatures i cannot even tell which part of my thoughts is legitimate worry and which part is imagined. i need help. someone please tell me what to do!
