      or any meditation technique/speech therapy.

      christian monks used to do the same. i think it was called “confession” or something when you talked about things that bothered you with somebody who was reasonably intelligent in a private context.

      i guess it really helped and might have been the modern equivalent of talking to a therapist.

    I couldn’t get over my high school girlfriend until my thirties. One time, I had a dream in which she told me that my obsession with her was unhealthy and that I needed to move on. It didn’t help.

    (I do think it’s hilarious that she rejected me even in my own dreams.)
