Analysis

I practice Unconcious Emotional Self Damage Analysis. This is talking work and is done one on one. Through this analysis an individual becomes aware of their unconscious behavior patterns that lead to a repetition of the same painful emotional experiences throughout life. Through this analysis we can discover how we repeatedly back into the same emotional pain, thinking that we're doing everything different "this time". By becoming more consciously aware of these usually unconscious patterns, the individual is able to move around and beyond them.

Unconscious Emotional Self Damage Analysis is based on the work of
Edmund Bergler, MD, who was a student of Freud and a contemporary of Carl Jung. Dr. Bergler was a prolific writer and many of his books can still be found in print. "Tensions Can Be Reduced to Nuisances" and "Divorce Won't Help" are two titles that newcomers to his theories find helpful.

This work is not based on the medical model. We are not dealing in this analysis with a pathology. Unconscious emotional self damage is normal and part of being a human. It isn't pleasant or helpful but it is normal. This analysis is based on the education model. The individual in this analysis is essentially taking private lessons in understanding himself or herself. It's much like music lessons. As the lessons progress the individual experiences increasing improvement in their ability to enjoy their own life.

Emotional Self Damage Analysis is not for everyone. Like many other modalities, some people find it difficult to work with, and some find it amazingly effective. It does seem to be helpful to many people who have not been helped through conventional psychotherapy.

I welcome inquiries about this analysis and its possibilities. I have been practicing Unconscious Emotional Self Damage Analysis for ten years.
