Our studies in psychotherapy suggest that up to 30% of the cure is hope and expectancy. Almost all the rest has to do with the therapeutic relationship.
I think it was Tolstoy who said, that if the doctor 's waiting room is full, the pastor is not doing his job. Indeed, placebo works - it is our own thoughts that mostly make us sick or heal us. My cat broke an arm 3 weeks ago. Without any treatment he healed in 2 weeks. If this were a human we would be operated on, then 6 weeks in plaster, then in therapy.. Have we lost our ability to heal ourselves? We urgently have to find that back!
for so many years, we have been brainwashed that we have to run to the doc to get healed, whereas most docs only do treatments, no healing! Most of us have a complete lack of self-trust. It will be hard, but in times like these last 3 years, I think many people either have lost it completely (I read so many suicides) or found their path up back. Some turn to religions, thankfully afew found the ONE. Bless you, on of God's own !
Considering the thought that it’s never too late to learn; This is personal experience, but I think most of us feel this way: I still feel at 59 the way I did at 17. Inside here is a 17 year old boy, still looking at the world as a place full of new things to learn and master. The outside may be a bit worse for wear, but I am still in here, still trying to be something I haven’t been before. Just this year I decided to learn to type, take watch making classes, retire from my job as a firefighter and soon go to work for the sewer department. And then maybe become a fire dispatcher, or permit technician, or drive a free taxi, or whatever comes along. It is never too late. I have an uncle in his seventies who after a successful career owning his own insurance agency went back to college to finally get his degree almost 50 years later. My father retired twice more after retiring from the police department.
Don’t grow old! Age well, but don’t grow old. Have fun, try something new, something that scares you. I promise you’ll look back from the other side and say “That wasn’t so hard!”
I love the drawing with the little girl outside the "goblin hut," with the goblins hiding under the mushrooms. Love the message, too. I've found myself responding often to things this year, "I'm not interested in creating more suffering, so..." I opt out of certain convos, even if I have lots of 'information,' as I can tell certain folks might spiral into fear or negative spirals if I contributed. This happens in person the most, as I can sense the energetics of the dialogue/people present, but online, a ton, too. Ties into the other "depends on what you feed" meme, too, ie, safegaurd your own consciousness, of course, and also safegaurd the consciousness one's contributing to, as well, out in the world. Thanks for the fabulous curation, Mickey!

Thanks, Kev. Is this in response to the first meme?
Yes, but more an overall critique of allopathic medicine.

Thank you, Ingrid...I love this comment and I especially love your cat healing himself! 😻
In my heart, I know we haven't lost our ability to heal ourselves but it will require quite a collective shift to reclaim our inherent powers.

Thank you for such kind words, my friend. 🙏
And wow...you nailed it here: "Most of us have a complete lack of self-trust." Thankfully, a fixable malady!
Great batch, thanks & God bless
Thank you, RM! 🙂 🙏

Inspirational!
AMEN to all of that, George! I smiled and nodded my head all the way through that comment. You and your family are true role models.
I'm grateful to have crossed paths with you! 🙏
