By covering over your symptoms with drugs you use a superficial fix that ignores the fact that depression--even the worst case--is an alarm calling for profound personal change and growth.
Everyone thought my client was nuts because he had stopped talking. Three psychiatrists had given him three different diagnoses. But I didn’t approach him as someone with a “mental illness." I saw him as a young man with a powerful process trying to come to his awareness. Over several months I was able to help him totally transform his problem. He’s a great example of how we’re all beautifully ‘mad’ in our own way!
The quality you dislike in someone is a quality in yourself you need to embrace more! What!? Yup, you need to become more like them—(obviously not literally, especially if they’re mean, abusive, racist, etc.)--but in a conscious, positive way. For example, being irritated at someone’s selfishness means you need to be more “selfish” by following your own needs—not in an insensitive way like the other person may being doing it, but in an aware, constructive way. Or, say you dislike someone who uses their power to oppress and hurt people. Their behavior is awful but the question is, how can you use your own power in a positive way? This episode shows you how to process what bothers you about people (including the really bad stuff) and use it for your personal growth
