At the close of session one, the group therapist said, “Your task for the week is to construct a model that represents your state of mind.
Before you leave, I would like you to follow me out into the backyard to meet my creation: a long-necked reptile from the Triassic period, marooned on dry land and permanently chewing on junk to stop it chasing its tail.
Not only is this a good description of me when I worked for the National Health Service, but it demonstrates that the best psychotherapists are those who’ve personally experienced inner turmoil and identity problems.”
