Most traditional methods of working on oneself are mostly pain centered. People get to repeat over and over their painful emotions without knowing how to use the body's own inherently positive direction and force.

More quotes by Eugene Gendlin
Every bad feeling is potential energy toward a more right way of being if you give it space to move toward its rightness
Eugene Gendlin
What is true is already so. Owning up to it doesn't make it worse. Not being open about it doesn't make it go away. And because it's true, it is what is there to be interacted with. Anything untrue isn't there to be lived. People can stand what is true, for they are already enduring it.
Eugene Gendlin
Most scary dreams bring something good which is not yet in a form the person can use.
Eugene Gendlin
Philosophy begins with the understanding that you cannot just observe or experience and then report what you see, because how you conceptualize and symbolize alters experience.
