Therapists, Release The Prisoners

Psychologists and therapists would be much more effective as healers of people's wounded psyches if the emphasis was less on helping them cope with being permanent, helpless victims that must live their shattered lives, transitioning patients to survivor status.

As God's individuating if veteran soldiers, wounded by past skirmishes in the battle of life, patients would come to regard themselves as victorious successful winners, surviving and dealing openly with their tarnished selves from a brutalizing past.

Their future would include serving God, the Good Spirits, themselves, their loved one and humanity. They would work, function normally, love, procreate and create.

This positive life style would help them become competent, confident adults lead rich fulfilling lives. As such their deserved self-pride would enable most of them to cope fairly well with their problems.

Therapists in the future will concentrate less on dealing with permanent patient victimhood than with providing seminars on how to gain skill and technique as maverizers as doers and winners.
