As my client, I would encourage you to engage in self-destructive behaviour. It is really hard to recognize yourself, as an individual, with all the image and stature that you have built, and the thing about your current self is, you obviously aren't happy with him. Otherwise you wouldn't be in Therapy with me. So the fastest way towards recovery, which I advocate, is sometimes violent destruction of your old notion of self. We want something really simple. We want to build a better you. But that simple goal requires a lot of hard steps. I'll be here, by your side, every step of the way. I will hold you when you fall, I will guide you when it is dark, and I will rouse you when you get tired. But you, you are the only person who can take the first step, the most important step, and you have to do that by wiping the dog-shit off of your shoes. We have to start fresh. So divorce your wife, sell your house, and let's start a new, healthy life, one that you will actually be happy with.
