I'm a definite advocate for various behavioral therapy modalities. They teach valuable tools anyone can learn to use to help themselves live a more peaceful, fulfilling and compassionate life. Talk therapy is good for many in the beginning to figure out the basis of issues but it is limited in what it can accomplish as far as personal growth. That takes understanding the mind and daily practice to reach the higher levels of introspection, healing and moving forward in the most positive manner possible.Changing how we think can be accomplished to a certain degree, but we cannot always control our feelings. The key is to get thoughts and feelings working together, instead of fighting with each other.
I have been through much counseling, therapy and support groups and I am very introspective by nature, so I am well aware when I am "in my feelings" and that I am not really being rational, but that does not mean I can instantly snap out of those feelings if it is a major crisis. But that usually does not last very long. Sometimes it just takes talking to people who understand in order to snap out of the feelings and start to see things differently. That does not mean the feelings are not still there, but they do not completely bowl me over, and the thinking part gets back in charge.
Which I don't find all that meaningful, even if true.
And would you respond in the same way to someone who was somewhat inconvenienced for three days?
How do you conflate "marred more than any man, suffered for the sin He didn't do, took on the world's sorrow (Isaiah)" with "somewhat inconvenienced"?
Hebrews says, "Undertook the cross, despising the shame" and Philippians says "Though He was God, He became lowly for us..."
I hope you do not believe any of this, for your sake.For a few hours of pain, and a few days in hell, he knew he was going to get out of it.
Not a big lift on his part, I would say. I mean, boohoo, he was 'shamed'.
I was raised with a focus on atheist philosophy but I’ve come to the conclusion that a theism which focuses on reinforcing things like trust and community spirit may be a healthier alternative to an atheistically motivated permanent focus on cataclysms.
The odds are against our survival. That's nothing to panic about. That's just a mater of fact.
