Your Own and Others Too

Many people find that they are not capable of making peace with anger in any form, whether it is in someone else, or themselves. These people believe that anger is unacceptable in any way that they recognize.

Gestalt Therapy for Nightmares and Repetitive Dreams

 Gestalt Dream Therapy is something that you or any of my Group graduates can do for themselves or in a group
setting.

Dreams are something that you create. They are not messages from outer space. You are the author of your dream.

As the author, you created everything and every person in your dream. So, you are everything and every person in your dream. You are you. You are the road. You’re the house. You are the door. You are the monster. You are the gun/knife.

If you have a very scary or repetitive dream, this approach to dream therapy is constructive. After processing one to three dreams, most people say their dreams did not come back to haunt them. In therapy sessions, both individual and group. . .

E.M.F.
*** Keys to Success

EMF is the key to understanding how you are designed to work psychologically.

The meanings you put to words, events in your life, your thinking, determine what you feel.

Based on the feelings that you are having, you choose your behaviors. “You do not react to people, events, or words, but to the meanings that you put to them.”

How you react to a bear is determined by what you believe about that bear. Do you see it as a pet or as a wild animal?

Anger for Good or for Bad

Over the years, anger has gotten a bad rap. Many people see anger as a destructive, malevolent, evil force in our lives.

Anger is not the bad rap that it has gotten a bad rap, in fact, the opposite of love is not hate (which is intense anger). It is indifference, not caring. Have you noticed that you get the angriest most at the people you love the most?

No one has ever gone to jail for being angry. It is how you express your anger that can get you put in jail.

Depression, Anger &
Anxiety

Prescriptions for Depression and Anxiety are higher than any other psychiatric medication.

Sigmund Freud looked at depression as a symptom. “Depression is anger turned inward.” From Freud’s time to our present day, anger has been a significant problem.

Anxiety is the difference between here and now and someplace in the future. Anxiety cannot be about the past, nor can it be about the present.
