Re: Changing the culture of therapy via reconsidering denial

This is a very important point you raise, Durwin.

The “denial of our strenghts” is encompassed in what some people call the golden shadow.

I see this process on a daily basis with patient, in forms like this one: Low self esteem, that is unconsciously or preconsciously fueled and nurtured, as to avoid to feel good. Why? Some say it can be hard to live to peoples expectations, or they fear if they feel happy it wil call on them some evil. They nurture their own suffering in order to feel control.
