"Our troubles come from the mind having to move on." My purpose is to present original, non-conventional therapy ideas. While "pessimistic" may seem a provocative or sabotaging quality, it is actually a facet of optimism. Just as a physician would do harm by ignoring injury, and helps the best by facing the worst, so must a therapist know that we grow from roots bent by psychic injuries in our childhood. Optimism must be based in this reality, not in wishful thinking.
