How conservative the Japanese people really is? And the government?

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life?
