Loosen the grip

Psychoanalysis, at its best, doesn’t give us answers but loosens the grip of the questions we’re obsessed with.

Sometimes the most liberating thing is to realize that we don’t need to know why we are the way we are –

we just need to live more freely with the uncertainty.

Adam Phillips, British psychoanalytic psychotherapist and essayist, Going Sane
