From Dr. Piper to Psychotherapy*
“This Is Not a Day Care, It’s a University!” Dr. Piper’s article created a myriad of “love” or “hate” reactions, not just from university students but the whole world over. There is a similar misconception about psychotherapy as well. “Discomfort” may just be a necessary “devil”. If facing emotional truths is more important for us than “comfort”, that is. Without it to disquiet our lesser, unhealthy selves, it will be tremendously difficult, if not impossible, for us to succeed in creating versions of our better, healthier selves.
