I don't understand the obsession with therapy, and I don't understand it to the point that, outside of a real trauma (suicide, abuse, death, etc.), I wouldn't be in a relationship with someone who is seeing a therapist. And to be clear, I had a brief experience, maybe 4 or 5 sessions, with therapy after a failed romantic relationship. Aside from the fact that it was a waste of time and money - and it could be about me and the specific therapist in my case, not therapy as a practice - I realized that part of my problem was entrusting the solution of rather trivial problems to someone who didn't know me, was only interested in getting to know me in the context that I was paying for it, and aside from a few trivial questions he asked me, didn't do much. What helped me was to start hanging out with someone again, because when one Pope is dead, we make another. And it is outsourcing the solution of personal issues the problem, it is a lack of ownership. As far as existential crises go, my view is that dedicating yourself to something, and it could be multiple things, tends to solve most of these crises. I look at myself and I have a good salary (for some people it's out of this world), good looks, I'm decently smart and erudite, and sometimes I wonder, is there something more to life? Because I'm getting pretty bored. And I've found that finding or reinforcing old and new "passions" tends to make my life more engaging and make the pretty useless existential questions go away. It might be writing, or doing jiu jitsu, or watching August Masters with some interest like I'm doing now. It might be dating an interesting man or woman. Learning a new language, visiting a foreign country on my own. So it's dedication and participation. And the practice of autogenic training, which makes us aware of the many hidden tensions we store in our minds and bodies.
