Just Do It!

When powerful, corrupt parties weaponized fear and forcibly shut down the civilized world in 2020, I began to reconsider my approach to therapy. Up until then, I had focused on encouraging patients to develop insight through a guided exploration of their inner self. After that, I moved firmly in the direction guiding patients to action. Now, nearly five years later, I see the results of that approach implemented not in my clinical practice but at the federal level of government. The nation has moved from a position of observing to one of full-throated, decisive action. If the nation were a patient, my prognosis would be “excellent.”
