I ordered his book and it should be in very soon...I'll post up a thread when I'm done reading it :)

We define ourselves by the way we relate to other people. We get deep, lasting, and meaningful satisfaction from giving selflessly to, and being present with, others ...

My patients can't do that. They're struggling with the effects of trauma suffered early in life when they were still developing the brain mechanisms that allow them to relate to other people and the world in general. Unable to trust, they grow up without a sense of self. They're overwhelmed by feelings, unable to cope, always out of control. Their brains tell them to manage the pain by getting loaded. Then, when they find their way to us, we ask them to go back and experience that powerlessness, the very thing that sent them off the rails in the first place.No wonder they resist.

Perhaps I may learn a little bit more of myself by reading it.
 
"To me, mental health isn't always about feeling good. Nor is it always about avoiding depression. As I define it, mental health is about accepting reality on reality's terms."

"As a culture, we are woefully disconnected from the biological realities of our lives. We are born, and then, at some point we can't predict, we die." Like Dr. Finely reminds me, "There's never a perfect time to be born, to die or to have a child." We are biological organisms that operate for a finite amount of time. Those are the facts of the human condition and we don't have any control over then. The one thing we can do is exert some control over what we do with our lives between birth and death."

I dunno, sounds hokey to me.

As there is no such thing as truth or reality.... but rather only perception.

Silly me, I decided a long time ago NOT to allow the perception of others to define MY reality.

Either I am fukkin smart or insane. :)

Either way, works for me. :lmao:
