This is true...that's why I think that people that hold that notion can't wrap their heads around AVRT or any other approach that doesn't align with that theory. As well, this method of self-recovery has worked for me in so many other areas where I tended to self-destruct/self-abuse (promiscuity,over-spending, misplaced anger). I'm wondering if it's just the inability to let go of that paradigm that's keeps people from looking at approaches like AVRT (or others) even when they have not had success. hmmmm...very curious indeed. great thread.
