Tom Williams “Diagnosis and Treatment of Survivor Guilt”
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders: a handbook for clinicians (ed. Tom Williams, Psy.D., published by Disabled American Veterans)
by Reg Harris Our relationship to our own actions, our sense of attachment to their outcomes, our capacity for openness to much deeper processes, are the issues here.
…[Chetanananda] delved more deeply into the thrme of the quality of life that emerges when we learn to free ourselves from our efforts to manipulate and control outcomes. Why is this important? Because the very effort to control events means that we restrict ourselves and others to the current level of our own imagination. We fail to recognize other possibilities inherent in a situation because we are too busy trying to make it turn out the way we think we want it to. We stifle the deeper creative potential that Life Itself embeds in every event. We miss those moments of grace when true inspiration might flash forth, illuminating unforseen and unimagined outcomes that are, in fact, altogether possible.
