The True Opposite Of Depression Is Not

Today I Should Not Be Identified With Any Kind Of Regressive Therapy.

Empathy Grows As We Learn.

The Only Possible Recourse A Baby Has When His Screams Are Ignored Is To Repress His Distress, Which Is Tantamount To Mutilating His Soul, For The Result Is An Interference With His Ability To Feel, To Be Aware, And To Remember.

The Abused Child Goes On Living Within Those Who Have Survived Such Torture, A Torture That Ended With Total Repression. They Live With The Darkness Of Fear, Oppression, And Threats.

The Truth About Our Childhood Is Stored Up In Our Body, And Although We Can Repress It, We Can Never Alter It. Our Intellect Can Be Deceived, Our Feelings Manipulated, And Conceptions Confused, And Our Body Tricked With Medication. But Someday Our Body Will Present Its Bill, For It Is As Incorruptible As A Child, Who, Still Whole In Spirit, Will Accept No Compromises Or Excuses, And It Will Not Stop Tormenting Us Until We Stop Evading The Truth.
