FYI --- David Peck started looking at Affective Disorder folk more closely After he had his heart attack and decided to retire from his thriving (and stress filled) practice, where he managed a team of six therapist... Can you imagine requirements of doing sessions 4 to 12 hours per day and keeping 6 other therapists on track???
Interesting to me was his portrayal of phobias being so foreign to him when he started his practice, that he didn't know what people were talking about... In his family of seven kids and a minister father, no one seemed to exhibit phobic tendencies... So in the 20 years of his active practice he hadn't gotten a satisfactory answer to the question, "Why phobias"...
You and I can benefit from what he did during the 15 years before his unfortunate passing... He found the underlying connections to most, if not all, mental difficulties... During his life, he was verbally attacked, even by his siblings, yet persevered to an "astonishing results"... I am so sad that he had to go without at least a glimmer of the success he so deserved... I feel so proud and lucky to have been a participant and contributor to the results...
It was logical to me that I might have a positive effect on Affective Disorder folks, since I had been so heavily steeped in that genre'... So that's why I'm hear...
I have discovered a simple motto:
Personal strength is the ability to withstand...
Personal power is the ability to make a difference...I'm here to make a difference...
