I don’t have any experience in applying

Western psychotherapy to the Buddhist

path. I do know, however, that

intimacy is necessary for a spiritual

practitioner, especially if that

individual is trying to overcome his

mental problems. When you open

yourself up mentally, you do so

only with someone you trust from the

bottom of your heart, someone you feel

very close to. To open yourself

up in this way is an

important step in overcoming

mental problems.
