Most schools of therapy call for a surrender of self to allow the new to emerge, the most obvious example being Alcoholics Anonymous' call for the intervention of a 'higher power'. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites the client to stop struggling in the quicksand of the problem, and when they do they begin to discover something (usually forgotten) that transcends the limited view they had of themselves.

I also have to report that I spent time at the ASD group and then drank peppermint tea with a heroine turned friend of mine. We spoke of nocebo, diagnosis, content vs context, the climate of covid and Ukraine, empathy, study and we laughed.
I have to get up early in the morning. I am slightly confused at this minute. I have a friend who is a place of despair and can't leave. She has been talking to me this evening while I try to read. I didn't get much read for another reason... I am watching a background program, called The great. It's a comedy. It's also about Russia. Should I be watching this? I saw a lady on FB use it as a platform against New World's wine selection holding a Russian wine. How very dare NW? They should have taken it off the shelves... She should rant about it in a public forum.
Okay... Time to sleep I think. I have a few things to do tomorrow... I better be rested.
