Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.
From Karen Horney

Concern should drive us into action, not into a depression.
Thou shalt free thyself from convention, from everyday morality.
Until I feel strong enough to pray sincerely and to act accordingly, I would rather not pray at all.

The perfect normal person is rare in our civilization.
