I read a deep and insightful post today from Life 2.0 called Perspectives on Psychotherapy, which I recommend you all read. One quote they mentioned that struck a chord with me.

From a lecture by Wolter Keers in Gent (sent to me by Ray Sender) -

I had a meeting yesterday evening with a group of psychiatrists and psychologists. There I defended the proposition that there is only one psychic obstacle and that you can reduce all of psychology and psychotherapy, and all psychiatry to that one obstacle. That one problem is that we have forgotten that we are love.

Love cannot be given to anyone, you cannot get love; you can’t make water wet, because water is wetness. Neither can anyone give you love, no one can receive love from you, you can only recognize love in yourself and you can recognize love in others.

There’s more, but head on over to the original post to check out the rest.
