Star Trek V!

Sybok: Let us explore it together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me, and gain strength from the sharing.

Sometimes the pain is a secret even from the person harboring it. IMO this is the basis for some PDs.

I never really believed in Freudian stuff until my first wife. Her subconscious was a monster.

That's part of the stigma. Some of the concepts and models sound goofy (crazy) to those who haven't experienced it. Freud though... I'm not impressed with him in the slightest.

No stigma here. Just don't know how to get a person who thinks everyone is crazy but her, help.
