On take away I have from the doctor here is this:  treat the symptoms, NOT the problem.  Take a tranquilizer, once it wears off and you once again begin to feel, take another one.  Continue steps one and two until death.....Then you NEVER have to face or deal with your problems.  I have to say, GENIUS, in behalf of the drug companies out there.

How is that different than numbing with alcohol???

    Its not and I don't think it should be seen as a long term fix. It seems like a poor approach to take with people. I'm not a professional but I have been to enough good ones to know that this isn't something they would recommend.

    well I know what you are saying and yes it is ridiculous. But I also learned when I was in treatment that sometimes you treat the symptoms to give you some  or any measure of relief so that youcan be fortified or refreshed or whatever you call it, in order to make your next big move forward. I believe it works the same for when you are chasing a tumor or any other kind of illness.

    Use what works for you, discard anything that doesn't, but don't discount the goodness of a thing out of principle when it could help, even in some tiny way....also, buy the book "ask and it is given" by abraham-hicks...they have a chart of emotions with defined emotional levels of relief. Interesting stuff. xo, M
