As we all know, millions of people receive psychotherapy to deal with psychological problems and to free themselves   41   emotional suffering. Typically, they will sit in an office with a therapist who is a member of a profession such as psychology or social work, and try to talk their ways to an improved state of mental health. The therapist,   42   , will use widely respected techniques such as helping them see the truth about their irrational beliefs or delving into the depths of the unconscious to reveal their hidden motivations. Unfortunately, people who seek out this kind of therapy often find that the therapy itself   43   emotional suffering, evoking difficult feelings such as vulnerability, anxiety, and sadness, and forcing them to   44   with therapists whose role automatically gives them the upper hand. Many people go through it anyway because they hope the truth will set them free, and they see the therapist   45   an expert who knows how to get at the truth of the mind.

People are working to an older age in Britain. The number of 70-74 year-old people who work has doubled in the past decade. Around 10% of British people in their early 70s are now working. It is the highest figure since records began. The British government says just over a quarter of a million 70-74-year-olds currently have jobs. In 2005,there were around 100,000 of them. The government said people are working to an older age and are deciding to retire later. A labor union spokesperson said the reason for people working in their old age is because retirement pensions in Britain are becoming more difficult to live on. Many older people have to work and delay retirement to be able to survive.
Employment spokesman Frances O'Grady said, “The last decade has seen [big] changes in the labor market, with far more people working beyond retirement age. While there are plenty who enjoy remaining in work, many need to earn extra cash because they cannot afford to retire.” He added that, “We need decent jobs and pensions for all so that people can make a   genuine choice   about whether they remain in work.” A spokesman for small businesses, John Allan, said more older people were starting their own businesses. He said, “More and more older people are [deciding on] a career change later in life and are starting up their own businesses, pursuing something they may have dreamed of doing for years.”
