I would dump my guilt-ridden, shame-laced and worthlessness-promoting parental programming and the effects of all of their violent abuse. Even with all the years of therapy, I've never been able to get beyond it to know how to relate with people in a healthy way, and to find happiness in my life.

@PhoenixPhail Such a tragic insight. At least the self- realization is a pathway to wellness. I wish you well. You might check out "Positive psychology" on YouTube. A simple but amazing form of therapy. For me, actually, life changing.

@Grateful4you Thanks. I'll take a look. However, if medication and 60 years of therapy haven't helped that much, I don't know that there's anything else that can.

@PhoenixPhail My major in college was Psych. which I lost faith in the "therapeutic" usefulness of. Many decades later I came across this practical approach to wellness, buddy, at least it's worth a try. My heart goes out to you, my very best wishes. I know things will get better.
