 In his popular ’60’s song ‘Breaking up is hard to do’ Neil Sedaka manages to cover quite a few of the emotions around breaking up. He invokes memories (“remember when you held me tight”); pleads (“Don’t take your love away”); hoping (“Wish we we could make up”) and pain (“Don’t leave my heart in misery”). Unfortunately the clips I have seen of him singing this song show him quite happy looking (perhaps all the money this song made for him?) and not very emotional.
 We are told all the time that we have it all. Good food, jobs, a place to live, recreation time. Our lives have never being better. So what’s wrong? Why are more people depressed? Unhappy? Or are taking drugs or alcohol? I'm seeing lots of clients with ask me - what's the point?
Perhaps they are just the tip of the iceberg. The ones that therapists see. But there are other groups that are self-soothing. Ones that do it more subtly. And you, believe it or not, may be one. |
