Interesting in a, this is a perfect world, kind of scenario. Personally, I never found anyone in my life that would allow me to talk, for "any" length of time, until I was much older. Lots of talkers out there, but very few listeners. Most of the first 35 years of my life, I was almost completely non-verbal. Trained and relegated to the role of listening. Everyone found me to talk to, little old ladies at the market, would turn around in line and tell me about their sex life or some other intimate detail, out of the clear blue. Much of what others told me embarrassed me because of my age and it was always out of left field, always outside of what was going on, always non of my business and a complete surprise. I was always the listener, from the time I was old enough to sit up and be talked to. Told every intimate detail, of everyone's life and experience, around me. No one ever gave me the opportunity to say much of anything, before they would begin again with me, me, me. Oh yes, and let me repeat myself again for the 300th time. But anyway, I can see that your methodology for healing might work well, in a perfect world, with all of the options present and available. A case of having multiples all in place, at the same time and all functioning correctly in harmony.
Personally I only had the give or take, 20 voices within my head, to talk to and discuss everything with. Yes my committee, each and everyone, fighting for the podium, to get a word in or make a point. From a low income, blue collar family, moved 7o times by the age of 12, had a full blown messiah complex by age 8, and not allowed to go to any kind of doctor unless you were bleeding, kind of family. While I can see that your methodology could be helpful, I wonder about for those that don't have the option of being within your realm.
Those that are extreme cases, that don't have a close friend or the money to gain an ear to listen. Guess that is why I have spent my entire life regaining my mental health alone and on the, "do it your self, hope I survive plan". The reason that I incarnated this time around, is my conclusion. The information and methodology that I searched out, found and used to make my self sane, is all that I personally have had access to. The tough love-get off your ass and do it-teach thy self-your the responsible party-nobody is going to help you, hope I survive, program. Took my first 45 years to research. And since then have met and discussed this material, with more than a few councilors and mental health professionals, all with multiple masters degrees. (not bad for a self-educated man with only a high school diploma) So as to not infer that I am an authority on anyone's life, had what I call "clarification sessions", with several returning multiple times, for sessions that lasted up to six hours at a time. My conclusion has been for years that those in the standard mental health/counciling field, are the most pained and confused portion of the general population, in many ways. Guess that is why the suicide rate is so high and why standard therapy goes on forever for those who can afford and access it. Realized that most got in to mental health to solve their own situation, applied what they learned to everyone else other than them self and didn't get around to resolving their own. Ending up to be very knowledgeable on the subject, but at a loss as to how to apply it to their self and within their own life. Care-givers, one and all!
Those that do not fall into the norm are the ones that I feel for and can relate to. Mental health care professionals, people that are in pain and various states of mental confusion. People with no way to access or buy relief, except for alcohol and illegal drugs. The ones that have fallen through the safety net. That barely function on their own and can not access-for what ever reason, help from anyone. Those that don't have a computer to access information through or a friend to talk to. Those within denial, that can't even admit that they have a problem, that needs to be addressed. The ones that do nothing to change, even when the information is there.
Guess that takes in about 99.9% of humanity, because it has been my observation, that mentally healthy people have no need to oppress anyone, in any way. Thoroughly processed humans actually want everyone around them to do better with whatever it is that they are doing. Actually encourage those around to continue with their personal evolution. And continue to work on and fine tune their own life. Have no need for wars, disrespect for any other human being or acting out any other social ill within society!
