Well, one of the things therapists do is a lot of recapping the past and analyzing, the logic being that the person will learn how to handle situations better.
This approach often backfires because many people who test positive for neurosis (personality disorder) actually are sick because they cannot let go. They keep recapping and analyzing the smallest of events and report it to the shrink as something big.
The Hank Nunn Institute teaches clients how to let go of analysis, simplify things and start living.

Easy Breathes the Heart that's Light
I dragged a puff of breath so deep
That it blurred my eyes with memory smoke
And all the sermons of the past
Made light of; dissolved into a joke
It made me sigh in relief at last
By showing me that t'was OK to not think
But just draw friends to my unopinionated self
And in life's soft mattress together to sink
Oh how sweet the uncomplicated breath
That needs no thought to nurture a being
Nor judgement save that one accept
Easy love wafting around now and then
When I know that breath is automatic
And life easily flows, I get whole
And understand why a human being
Is never termed a body
But called a soul

Lost Girl on the Hill
I saw a wisp upon a hill
She said that she was lost
That memories from the past below
Were making it difficult to feel on her feet
But I tried to say that I could see only
The solid ground beneath her feet
And that the only wishy washy stuff
Was the way she was a wisp yet talked
I still am trying not to judge
Her right to exist as a wisp
Though I hope she's fine enough to see
The ground supporting her feet
The Hank Nunn Institute teaches people to feel the ground beneath their feet.

As Good As You Get
Self Improvement. Everyday a self-improvement day. Every moment a self-improvement moment. Is that you?
Well, that certainly was me. Until I said, "What if this is as good as I get? What if this is how improved I get, and no further?"
I was scared. But then, I waited. Waited to make the social faux pas I am so good at. Made one. The usual demons gnashed their teeth at me. To make them go, I made it self-improvement moment again. "But wait!" said I. And faced my demons bravely. Boy, was it difficult! I felt so guilty there was a social error in my thinking, and I was going to do my best not to improve!
Since then, I have done that many times. Am I happier? No. Wiser? No. But do I think I'll soon be? Yes. Because one thing has changed. Ever since I decided to accept my flaws and agree to not improve them, I am able to be more accepting of other people.
What a blessing!
Do you need to give up the endless self improvement quest, too?
Well, then stop improving and start living.
Goodbye, and do not forget to visit the Hank Nunn Institute page to see what fun we had there lately. If you or a loved one is suffering mentally and needs to get independent, do contact the Hank Nunn Institute. Also, we need funds and volunteers. Do join in if you're good with that. Cheers!
