Hi:
I'd like to dedicate this message to a presentation I recently watched on TED.com. It involved two different researchers commenting on the biological/technological advances of the other species of this planet - in contrast to the moderate (sometimes magnificent) accomplishments of human beings.
The major point that I took home with me was this: life builds the requirements it needs to keep living. Everything on earth needs a place to dwell, to recreate, and to evolve. Beginning with the earliest life forms that originated 3.8 billions years ago, each one has fought to increase the "grazing space" for the entire community (sometimes killing the weakest and least evolved in the process), simply by the process of living. What we humans must ask ourselves - are we doing the same?
The way this transfers into the realm of psychotherapy is as follows. We therapists work everyday to create more space in the lives of our patients - more space to self-observe, to reevaluate, to continue to thrive. While doing this we are also creating a more reflective and relationship friendly environment in our communities, which hopefully adds to the complex society we live in, and increases our human ability to thrive and to evolve.
Neat and simple. What do you think?
