What cures in therapy is truth. Now there’s exposure to the things you’re afraid of and avoiding as well, but I would say that’s a form of enacted truth, because if you know there’s something you should do by your own set of rules, and you’re avoiding it, then you’re enacting a lie. You know, you’re not telling one, but you’re acting one out. It’s the same damn thing. So, if I can get you to face what it is that you’re confronting that you know you shouldn’t be avoiding, then what’s happening is that we’re both partaking in the process of attempting you to act out your deepest truth. And what happens is that that improves people’s lives. We know that if you expose people to the things they’re afraid of, but that they’re avoiding, they get better. And you have to do it carefully and cautiously and with their own participation and all of that. But of all the things that clinicians have established that’s credible, that’s number one. And that’s nested inside this deeper realization that the clinical experience is redemptive, let’s say, because it’s designed to address suffering, insofar as the people who are engaged in the process are both telling each other the truth.
