Summer’s here, and it’s break time from writing. While I continue to do therapy sessions with clients, my brain is insisting on a three-month rest from its most arduous labor: composing the essays posted at this website.
More than 260 of these articles are available here. They reveal the dynamics of inner conflict that cause most mental, emotional, and behavioral problems. These articles are free and, along with the books on sale here, they instruct readers on how to benefit from the basic principles of depth psychology.
The search function will retrieve articles on any particular problem you might be having (such as depression, guilt, shame, addictions, indecision, intrusive thoughts, self-rejection, resistance, and so on). To further help readers access this abundance of knowledge, here are links to several of the most widely read posts:
The Bittersweet Allure of Feeling Unloved
Are You Overly Sensitive to Rejection?
The Invisible Wall of Psychological Resistance
“Why Am I so Easily Discouraged?”
Breaking Free of Inner Passivity
When in Doubt about Sexual Orientation
Overcoming Incompetence and Its Miseries
The Deeper Issues that Produce Meanness
Free Yourself from Inner Conflict
Greed as a Mental-Health Disorder
When in Doubt About Sexual Orientation
Problem Gamblers Are Addicted to Losing
Reading my books can also help people to study this depth psychology and apply the knowledge to their personal issues. The three most popular book titles are:
Freedom From Self-Sabotage: How to Stop Being Our Own Worst Enemy.
Why We Suffer: A Western Way to Understand and Let Go of Unhappiness.
Our Deadly Flaw: Healing the Inner Conflict that Cripples Us and Subverts Society.
If you’ve just come across this self-knowledge, any one of these three books is a good place to start reading. I’ll be back with new, insightful posts by late September or early October.
