Susan – a college student in the Northeast, offers what she learned about inner conflict:
“Interesting to think of "inner conflict" as offering helpful information...rather than simply being something to ignore at all costs! Thank you for this!”
Kellyn – another college student, responds to Emotional Freezing:
“It's really interesting to think of it as retracing steps to think why something upset you or made you feel a certain way and then digging up that emotion to help get rid of the stress it is causing the rest of your body. I will use this strategy of looking for misplaced emotions next time I feel stressed or think I may have buried an emotion that is causing me problems.”
Evan – a young women, speaking on facing realities:
“I often ignore my emotions and just try to focus on the positive things in life, but this isn't always the right approach.”
Michelle – a student, comments on the hope the Emotional Detective has given her:
"I think that its great to learn how to get your emotions to work with you instead of against you. Seeing how emotions can at times be all over the place, it is comforting knowing that there may be a way to control them in an effective and useful manner."
Brionna – a student, how she now deals constructively with stress:
“Your writing really promotes action over just dealing with that stress that results from hi-jacked emotions.”
Alice – a young Spanish woman, reflects on introspection:
“Looking within ourselves is something that fascinate me because it could be surprising, a world as vast as the external world... the way you focus on this inner view, investigating something in particular, self-knowledge, is something extraordinary, it gives me sense and order.”
Hanna - who lives in Santa Monica, comments on the three aspects of self:
“After many years of therapy, I find I'm better about not over-accommodating on the social level and your talk helped to put that into perspective for me in a more solid way. The rational, reasonable aspect appears to be somewhat more realized than earlier in my life ~ it's just that thinking and mentally working things out for me is a bit of a challenge. I find myself losing interest or being distracted away from the process and more or less trusting my intuitive nature to handle most situations.”
Susanne – a therapist in Los Angeles, says:
“I actually had an ah-ha experience when attending your excellent seminar the other night!”
“What you did for me was to translate the psychoanalytic approach to the body sensations, which reduced my discomfort with the mindful approach I am learning.”
“I am so thankful! I hope you write a book soon!”
