I have a guest post on the Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life blog called Changing Our (Relationship to Our) Past.
It came from a conversation with a friend about how they couldn’t go back and get what they wanted then. This got me thinking about how our past is present with us and how we can change how we relate to this past (the one that is with us in the here and now). I hope you like it, Evan.
Post of note: This is the first in a series of posts, called Finding My Voice by Marie at Coming Out of the Trees. The posts are a script that she read to her therapist about what she needed from him and what he did that wasn’t helpful. It is passionate, clear and wonderful to read. I think therapy would be improved if more clients did this. It is also a very useful indication of the kinds of issues that are dealt with in the therapeutic relationship.
