I think the future of psychotherapy and psychology is in the school system. We need to teach every child how to rarely seriously disturb himself or herself and how to overcome disturbance when it occurs.

The easy way out is often just that-the 'easy' way out of the most rewarding lifestyle.

We teach people that they upset themselves. We can't change the past, so we change how people are thinking, feeling and behaving today.

Convince yourself that worrying about many situations will make them worse rather than improve them.

Failure doesn't have anything to do with your intrinsic value as a person.

We can't change the past, so we change how people are thinking, feeling and behaving today.

When I started to get disillusioned with psychoanalysis I reread philosophy and was reminded of the constructivist notion that Epictetus had proposed 2,000 years ago: "People are disturbed not by events that happen to them, but by their view of them." I could see how that applied to many of my clients.
