We currently inhabit a society where the mere experience of aversive emotional states is regarded as pathological. It signifies that something is inherently wrong with us, often to the extent that seeking professional medical attention becomes necessary.
In the early 70's an entire therapy group walked out on their psychiatrist. We had come to the conclusion that he was more interested in his own authoritative and financial stature than he was in his patients. Some of us went on to explore more ancient and holistic ideas. Then along came Mel Brooks send up film, High Anxiety, a brilliant exposure of the decline in medical ethics...... What we now understand as the drive for monetization in Big Pharma. Let us be grateful for Roger's wisdoms. Peace, Maurice

What a powerful message. Thank you. I will never look at emotional discomfort the same again.
