Thanks Twinleaf. I shouldn't have assumed you were in the states when i asked...so that's one major insurance company that doesn't consider the treatment plan or type-instead, the number of sessions is all that matters. It would cost me over $4000 a month for that! Hey if i was rich I'd do it.
Yes, i agree, it definitely works 'beneath the surface'. In addition to the things you pointed out, working with transference is tremendously helpful (though related to what you had said).
The big difference betweeen this and other therapies I had done, aside from focusing on the relationship and transference, is that it forces emotions to the surface. I'm an intellectualizer and rationalizer...other therapists only reinforced this, and i ended up worse than before. I find it nearly impossible to do this in psychoanalytic therapy. If i start to do it, my therapist always has some way of stopping my attempts...Which allows the re-experiencing and repair to take place.
