Excerpt
UnTherapy proposes that peace of mind occurs as a result of waking up to how one’s own thought affect, and even determine one’s feelings. Such awareness can stimulate a metamorphosis of destructive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into what Buddhists refer to as “right action.” Those who experience the transformative effects of how an objective awareness of one’s own internal world can internal world can reduce the shadows of self-deception and illusion do not doubt its value. And those who have no experience with objective awareness are rarely convinced of its validity by rational argument.
Enlightened living begins with one essential premise: it is okay to be you, just as you are, embracing every aspect of yourself, including your own self-judgement, which, by the way, provides an impetus to grow. UnTherapy proposes that you set an intention about how you wish to be and how you want to live, while simultaneously accepting the conditions of your life just as they are right now. You will learn to make peace with how your life has played itself out thus far. You will also learn to free yourself from anxieties that so often occur as a result of “efforting,” so that you can feel personally fulfilled through your journey regardless of how close or distant your goals might be.
