WARNING AND DISCLAIMER

These pages are designed to be mood-changing

to help you to gain awareness of your own inner processes in just the same way as you would in a face-to face counselling environment.

However, since we are not face to face, I cannot accept any responsibility for your reactions to my suggestions. I am assuming throughout that I am dealing with ordinary, neurotic people like myself and not with people with recognised psychiatric pathology which am not qualified to address, nor is that my purpose. But if you want to talk to me about your reactions, please email me .

This book is my own symbolic reclamation of power, my affirmation of the right to do things my own way.

You may be dismayed to find uncouth four-letter words in this book. They are not words I use in my daily life. They are contained in quotations designed not to offend, but to rivet attention. When I first heard them used in therapy they were not comfortable, but they were difficult to forget.

I am not a distant expert, a perfected being, preaching from the ramparts of my excellence. I am a simple, struggling, scarred individual like yourself, except that I have been on my journey longer and have been fortunate enough to meet certain teachers and learn certain techniques which I pass on to you here, not as an impersonal manual of instructions but as an admission and a thank you. I have been there. The people from whom I have learned have also been there. They include my clients, all of whom brought something precious to our interaction. All of them deserved to be happy. They cared about others and I care about you, all of you.

I should like to hear about you, especially if you feel strongly about this book. I should like to know if you feel it has been of help. In particular, I would love to hear if you feel your own experiences could be of help to someone else.
