Note To Behavioral Therapists

Because my own behavioral issues,
and my own public political and economic issues,
follow my own vocal trauma communication concerns
and bad-health memories,

It seems my most effective management therapies
usually begin more cooperatively
more quietly spoken in vocal kindness,
and then move on to behavioral mindfulness
to focus on expressing active compassion,
as needed
and invited,
verbally and non-verbally.

If I can leftbrain need to articulate cooperative intent
and rightbrain feel compassionately active hope,
then healthier integral behaviors tend to follow
by seeking co-acclimation
in-between these self/other needs with co-arising feelings
affluently/effluently communing.

I do not conclude
from these experiences and memories
that behavioral therapies are misguided
or misdirected.

But, I do both want and feel
behaviors are non-verbally and verbally communicated,
with or without aggressive competitive intent,
and usually somewhere ambiguously in-between
interdependence and fragmentation,
regenerative and degenerating investments
spent and dynamically returning.

I'm not big on psychology for the reasons you described above, Gerald. It's hard for the left brain to communicate with the right brain, leading to a host of psychological problems. Nicely penned, Gerald. Best wishes, Carolyn
