These diary pages are about the daily work of a psychotherapist: with herself, with her struggles and searches. And, especially, with her client. The personal and interpersonal journey is consumed in a space of questioning, which is transformed into a therapeutic objective, transposed into a suite of techniques and methods of intervention in the search for inner truth: the true interior.
Docufiction. For well-understood reasons, I chose the variant of similarity with the vegetal space. Clients become vegetal entities for two reasons: (1) the person is kept anonymous, behind a plant/flower code, which has modified their story in such a way that any similarity with reality is a pure coincidence; (2) light nourishes the vegetable, gives it color, smell, fruit and meaning in a plant/flower name, which captures personality characteristics of the person from the therapeutic process, respectively from the photosynthesis laboratory.
The guide therefore makes it light.
The order of writing/reading the pages is purely chronological. The themes of personal reflection are real, the metaphors meet psychological concepts, the people-plants/flowers are people who have inspired me and continue to inspire me.
It happens like this. After the psychotherapy session, I sit down in front of the laptop, my fingers connect with my whole self and start to slide on the keyboard. The text is surprisingly ordered, it comes from another sense: it connects with the energy of creation and with the amazing uncreated energy. The therapeutic techniques and methods melt into the metaphor. I read what I write: what I didn't see in face-to-face therapy now becomes clear and new paths of intervention open up.
Therefore, the text lives on two levels: (1) the therapeutic level, where I meet directly with real people, with plant/flower names; (2) the level of self-therapy. On both levels, the relationship is mediated by the uncreated light, communicable in creation.
This writing carries me whole, in roles and jobs that I love.
