Hi Misha,

 

Here's a quote from that source you mentioned.

 

It really fits into the part about 'attitudes' that help healing and

attitudes that 'hinder' healing.

 

Maybe some on this list will find it interesting.

PS. I just went through one of my own 'poor little old me' phases.

The good news is, once I'd recognized it, I just erased it. Of course

I was up until 4 am this morning doing the damn drills of the Inner

Demon Destroyer.

 

Glad I have them.

An individual's attributional style or explanatory style was the key

to understanding why people responded differently to adverse events

(Peterson & Seligman, 1984). Although a group of people may

experience the same or similar negative events, how each person

privately interprets or explains the event will affect the likelihood

of acquiring learned helplessness and subsequent depression (Abraham,

Seligman & Teasdale, 1978).

 

The pessimistic explanatory style—which sees negative events as

permanent ( " it will never change " ), personal ( " it's my fault " ), and

pervasive ( " I can't do anything correctly " )—are most likely to suffer

from learned helplessness and depression (Peterson, Maier, & Seligman

1993). Cognitive behavioral therapy, heavily endorsed by Seligman,

can help people to learn more realistic explanatory styles, and can

help ease depression.

Ps. I really loved that new video you put up on your elite mind member

site. The energy stuff for relationships and cuddling was priceless.

Your use of thought-forms and how to install them were easy to learn

and to do after watching it. Again my thanks to you.
