Modern Psychology

Many of those who study the mind
are under the impression that
emotions are a by-product
of dysfunctional thought processes;
and so by identifying and
straightening out thought processes,
the emotions will simply vaporise.

Turn a light on in a dark room,
and all darkness disappears.

Dysfunctional thought processes
can in partlead a person
down a wrong path,
and so a little mental unravelling
may help, in part, in future situations.

What then of the past?
What if the emotions of the past are
banging on the door of our consciousness?
Ironically this would be the reason
for seeking counsel in the first place.
And what of the intertwining relationship
between thoughts and emotions?

Do re-routed, positive, rational,
reasonable thought processes
simply stand firm against
a barrage of emotions?

Nice yes if our unconscious was
clean and unburdened, prior to
entering the mind doctors door.
Thankfully there are body doctors,
mind doctors, heart doctors,
and consciousness doctors.
