No One … Can Entirely Step Out

The Most Comprehensive Formulation Of Therapeutic Goals Is The Striving For Wholeheartedness: To Be Without Pretense, To Be Emotionally Sincere, To Be Able To Put The Whole Of Oneself Into One's Feelings, One's Work, One's Beliefs.

To Experience Conflicts Knowingly, Though It May Be Distressing, Can Be An Invaluable Asset. The More We Face Our Own Conflicts And Seek Out Our Own Solutions, The More Inner Freedom And Strength We Will Gain. Only When We Are Willing To Bear The Brunt Can We Approximate The Ideal Of Being The Captain Of Our Ship. Spurious Tranquillity Rooted In Inner Dullness Is Anything But Enviable. It Is Bound To Make Us Weak And An Easy Prey To Any Kind Of Influence.
