Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy's goal is to resolve the conflicts only on the
psychogical level. It attempts this by working on understanding
the conflicts and their origins in childhood. It believes that
through this understanding and the discharge of repressed emotions
the conflicts will be resolved. But how can that be, when the
most fundamental point in the conflict is the loss of Essence?
The individual knows, although unconsciously, what he has lost.
His personality is always subtly irritated by the hole in his
chest. He will feel complete, he will be completely contented
about this conflict, only if he regains what he has lost. There
is no other way. Understanding or no understanding, completion
and contentment will happen only when there is a hole no more,
only when Essence is there, experienced and acknowledged. (Essence,
pg 122)

Merging Essence and psychotherapy
Psychotherapy does not acknowledge the existence of Essence or
the loss of Essence; therefore it is not oriented towards retrieving
it. Psychotherapy is oriented towards making the personality healthier
and stronger, making it function better. In dealing with merging
Essence, psychotherapy does not usually go beyond the first step.
The empty hole is almost never approached. Rather, the person
learns to find better and more effective ways to fill the hole,
which are seen as better relationships with people or a more satisfying
intimate relationship with the person of the opposite sex. (Essence,
pg 117)
