Is it possible to Analyse Oneself?
Most people have such a high degree of resistance that an insight gained by self-analysis tends to be either superficial or confirm already-held beliefs, rather than promote change. Of course, many have tried and benefited to some extent from self-analysis, but a regimen of regularly scheduled appointments, combined with the assistance of an experienced analyst, is vital to the process. In addition, much of who we are is determined by our relationships with other people. An analyst provides an opportunity to observe ourselves in a close relationship and safely try out new ways of relating to others.
