Develop your inner life
In the midst of crisis it can be most difficult to remember that we have been endowed with resources. We may forget to breathe under pressure, and in a demanding atmosphere we may lose touch with our natural selves, so that the self of warmth, compassion, and confident focus seems distant or almost irretrievable. This is the reason why some people are fearful of therapy. It may seem that the relationship with self and with world is beyond repair, and therapy is useless – a pointless archaeology of pain.
Such a perception is a habit. It can be changed.
Skills you develop in a state of well-being can help you during periods of unanticipated difficulty. The therapeutic path can lead you back into your authenticity.
Just when we have the capacity to take a long-term view, we may find ourselves sinking into inertia and intently ignore signs of stress. When the stress becomes acute we may be quick to accuse ourselves or others of being born with a disorder.
Diagnostic labels are derived by committee, not by insight meditation. I am not sure why, but we have come to associate labeling with solution of emotional pain. We hope it helps when we say a person has anxiety disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, borderline personality, or schizophrenia. But where is the evidence? Conventional diagnostics do not describe the core awakening.
Comprehensive research in interpersonal neurobiology and behavior confirms that you can make transformations in therapy. Wisdom traditions will assist our work.
