Reading Other People, Reading Ourselves

Of all the professions, therapy is the one that most resists
objective understanding. Everyone who sees a therapist
will most likely see several during their life,
with the last one proving the most effective.
Because between all the other therapists
there is some unshiftable deadness that the client takes back.
If therapists were asked why so many of you?
Their collective defense would be that all but the last of them
'Were steps on the clients journey. The last was the arrival'.
The public use therapy unscientifically as if it were part astrology,
part fortune telling, with a bit of mind-reading thrown in.
In the past, through astrologists we believed more
for looking to the future. Now through therapy,
people half-blindly create different pasts
to make the present easier to live with.
