In Dialogue with Doug Hansen\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2026or Where Have All The Cowboys Gone? part 2<\/em>
\nbecause it was spurred on (pun intended) by this morning\u2019s foray. You may never know how the 2 are connected. I\u2019m still untangling the 2 from an activating event<\/i> about a month ago. I received a picture of my youngest dressed up for a special school day as a cowboy. That\u2019s all I ever did as a kid, play cowboys or play baseball. We didn\u2019t have Atari<\/i> yet. In the picture, he\u2019s wearing my boots \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

I\u2019m kind of struggling and no distraction, good or bad, can keep my mind off my son. This will set a little context for these reads.<\/p>\n

In 2009 I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Doug Hansen, Relational Psychoanalyst. I was considering living in his region and was looking for a marriage and family therapist supervisor.<\/p>\n

After the interview, Doug asked if I had any questions. I said that I\u2019d had few experiences with a true therapist trained in modern psychodynamics so I had a lot of questions.<\/p>\n

You see, psychoanalysis<\/em> is directly descended from Sigmund Freud. It\u2019s like Doug is just a couple generations removed from Freud himself.<\/p>\n

Doug patiently fielded my questions and I sat there amazed. He is a good Christian by the way, and a university professor. Nonetheless, reading a good psychoanalysis article is worlds apart from reading a regular psychological study. It\u2019s like reading deep philosophy.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, the free exchange was well worth my time.<\/p>\n
