I hear you on cognitive styles!! I think that's key - finding something that works with the way our minds work. I think that's a really profound insight. I have tried a few different recovery methods but found the cognitive dissonance and the need to suspend disbelief crazy making. I love the idea of the "vast richness" of the world and the mind. What a lovely concept! At some point I'd like to spend time in a monastery too, but right now I'm taking care of my elderly mother so that's the priority.
