Psychoanalysts - Is There a Time Limit?

Freud wrote about the difficulty of endings in his work. He likens it to when you come upon to be continued in your favorite serial story that there's just this like, ah, yeah, no closure. And I actually think what he's exploring is middles and the uncomfortable of the middle because it's there. So they start from the end, but then get further away from last symptom. Instead what you're solving is the uncomfortability of the way last thing ended. It's not a problem of Ending; it's a problem of MIDSENDING.
