Leo Masliah - Psicoanalista versuri traducere în engleză

Psychoanalist

Before singing the last song, I want to tell some things of a little more personal nature. I'm psychoanalist. It's a profession that I achieved once. And well. Sometimes I like to disclose a little the intimacy of my patients. At least when I consider that this could be useful to other people that allow us to learn from the other's mistakes and anyway, to grow like human beings, right? And well, I have this patient, she's called Teresita, it's been some time that she comes to me and it seems that she broke up with his boyfriend, which it makes me feel glad because that boy wasn't the right one for her. I don't say it myself, her parents were sying it too. And it's not that I was jealous because of course, in the role I carry out doesn't correspond to me that kind of feelings, right? Though I have to confess that in that level I did some progress because the last sessions I had with her we've been doing them grabbing our hands. And I think that I can make even more progress, In fact I could have made progress faster, What happens is that, well, I must take care of listening to what she says too, to work on that. I can't be thinking of the other thing all the time, right? Besides sometimes I'm wondering if I really need to make too much progress but...no, I think I need. I will do it because so many years of analysis that I did, gotta have some use for me, or not? By the way she likes it. At least for now she hasn't protested at all. I don't know if she believes that the technique is like this, or if it's by transference that she projects me things of another person that she likes or she liked, right? that I'm not really the one she likes. But well, it has to start with something. So, let's see how this keeps going, how it develops. The most important is that she keeps going, I'm insisting too much to her lately, I'm telling her that she can't interrupt, that she has to... I understand that it's getting hard because I can't charge her the same I charged her last year, right? but, no no no, but she has to make an effort because it's very important. As much for her as for me. Because I don't want to hide what I feel, I don't believe in that neutrality that the psychoanalists believed before they could hold, right? because looking at you with a poker face is not being neutral. And let's suppose that they put a nothing face, but in fact there's no such thing as a nothing face. It could be a face of not wanting to express anything, but anyway the things come to the light, because the psychoanalists aren't graduated from the Hollywood's Actors Studio to be able to perform so well. They're very naive if they believe that they don't show anything. I show it all. I show it all to Teresita and for me it has to be that way. If they want it they could fire me from the psychoanalists association, but I won't give up my principles and I won't give up what I pursue of my patients either because well, I live from that. Although there are many who are owing me more than a month. That's a problem because the more they owe me, the crazier they get and they need to see me more. So the debt is increasing. To many I had to send them the thugs to be able to charge them. But anyway, sometimes some pressure is good. About us, the technical term we use is 'shock therapy' and has a clear cost, because you have to hire specialized staff, That cost is included in the patient bill, if they don't want to cover it, we apply the therapy again to them and at the end they end up paying twice. That's why I always insist to them, I harp on them. I make them remember, I tell them 'don't delay, don't delay the payments.' But there's no point. There are some who don't understand, right? their neurosis obstructs them completely their sense of responsability, right? Even there are some who develop some kind of subject blocking. They can't talk about what they owe me. It's like a taboo. They can talk about sex for three hours suddenly, they have no limits. You gotta cut them, you gotta remind them that their time was over, but the money subject inhibits them completely. That's why we gotta work too much to be able to break that defensive shield and it isn't easy, I mean. There are some who for getting a dime from them, it's really not enough neither with beating them up. You have to resort to other measures like for example... to kidnap the mother or the father. There when you touch the Oedipus, the begin to reach. Fortunately for myself I have a commisary who supports me in this. Because when the reports of kidnappings come, he leaves them squeezed in a box because, he understands about psychology, he knows what a therapy is and how much it costs. And, well, with the percentage it costs more but what can we do. We gotta work on team to do the things in the right way. The time of individualism is over, it's gone. We gotta learn to share what one has, because if we don't learn from that, this country doesn't get any better.
