I'm very happy. I like my work and the various aspects of it - going around the world, teaching the gospel according to St. Albert.

In the old days we used to get more referrals, because people had insurance that paid for therapy. Now they belong to HMOs, and we can only be affiliated with a few HMOs.

I get people to truly accept themselves unconditionally, whether or not their therapist or anyone loves them.

Stop shoulding on yourself

If human emotions largely result from thinking, then one may appreciably control one's feelings by controlling one's thoughts - or by changing the internalized sentences, or self-talk, with which one largely created the feeling in the first place.

I thought foolishly that Freudian psychoanalysis was deeper and more intensive than other, more directive forms of therapy, so I was trained in it and practiced it.

The individual is taught that there is nothing that he as a total person is to feel ashamed of or self-hating for.
