Update: 2012-01-02
Description
Have you ever watched a child who was just hurt show you what happened by hurting themselves again?
If a doctor said you were sick would you want him to let you make yourself more sick with a treatment plan, or would you want to get healthier, stronger and not get sick again so easily?
Often we may find that talking about our experiences can be very helpful, even cathartic. So we call up our pals and vent, but what if venting that just masks our pain, makes it easier to be angry or hurt the next time? Let's explore how cultivating the opposites of fear, hate and sadness can be the best medicine you have ever had.
