What is Therapy?

"Therapy is two people sitting together for no reason but to figure out what is happening in the room."    Mark Epstein

I love Mark Epstein's definition of therapy, and - as a therapist myself - I agree.  He goes on to say what an extraordinary thing it is that we have this available to us today.  He also gives gentle understanding to PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) saying he thinks most people either have PTSD or Pre-PTSD, because of the trauma of everyday life.  I agree.  He says a spiritual practice is not enough to deal with trauma, but it often takes medication and therapy.  I agree.
