I only have one real emotional issue – eating – but it negatively affects a few aspects of my life, so I chose “some damage” instead of “little damage.” I could almost definitely use some therapy*. I’m pretty functional, though, and while I’d love to blame everything on my parents I actually have no idea what the root of the problem is.**
*Not long ago I saw a therapist for about a year, but he was a behaviorist instead of an analyst and we never got into the “why” of anything. At the time I thought that would be enough, but it wasn’t so I stopped our sessions. Someday I will look into analysis.
**Hence the usefulness of therapy.
