answers to questions

Q.  I know I am not an addict, however, I am aware of mental health issues that 

       cause me a lot of suffering.  Can your teachings, practices and therapeutic 

       interventions help me? 

A.   Yes, without a doubt.  Being human, one is constantly having difficult emotions, 

       it is unavoidable.  The goal is to not to be void of emotions, it is to be able to 

       have emotions without them debilitating you and making your life 

       unmanageable.  All too often, there is an assumption that, "If I just push my 

       feelings down and don't feel them, I can function."  Unfortunately, the opposite

       is true.  The answer is to become a master at managing your emotions.  When 

       you feel them, the negative energy dissipates and it takes "the edge off."

       your program?
