Endurance activities have established procedures and established goals. Survival is being thrown into a wilderness situation without previous training. The two people involved in psychoanalysis are the client and the analyst. There are many kinds of analysts as there are clients, and that is part of the problem. The process of the conversations between the client and the analyst is often reduced to the interacting steps of the client getting out of their head and into their heart, and the analyst taking what they pick up in their heart and transfer it to their heads. The head to heart translation for the client is supposed to be in the form of an outpouring of feelings and emotions which the analyst picks up, transfers to their head and makes some kind of notes while doing this. It is analogous to a water falls into a frozen river with the client pouring out the water often in the form of tears, and the analyst maintaining themselves as cold as ice so not to reveal what is flowing through them and into their notes. Usually, the Analyst has been trained to endure the client and partially achieves this by not instructing the client either how to survive or to endure their counseling undertaking.The need for Endurance versus survival is illustrated by an example of a client subjected to analysis by two diametrically different analysts, and their effects on each other. The narrative begins with a background to the theoretical aspects of psychotherapy, how it is practiced, a background description of each therapist and the client, the clients views, and then how the client built the potential for analysis endurance by developing an understanding of Mindfulness.
