Welwood Quote

From Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships:

If there is one thing I have learned in thirty years as a psychotherapist, it is this: If you can let your experience happen, it will release its knots and unfold, leading to a deeper, more grounded experience of yourself. No matter how painful or scary your feelings appear to be, your willingness to engage with them draws forth your essential strength, leading in a more life-positive direction. My work, both with other people and with myself, has thoroughly convinced me of this truth, which has become a bedrock of my theraputic practice.
