Document Summary
Person is not an entity, it"s a continual process of structure. Any therapy is catalyzing your process to change yourself: we have control over his. Eg if stuck in middle of ocean, you have no control and will go wherever the wind takes you power of situation (conditions, situation) Now you take your shirt or anything to make a sail (eg) and now you have a little bit of control (even though you"ll be in the same spot as you were before, wind still overpowers you) However, within time you could get somewhere if you consistently do this in one direction (not in short time though) Our choices are constrained by our past emotions and conditions: has to do with genetics but a lot with conditions. Its not magic, but overtime can make a difference. As we will see, the process of diagnosing someone with a specific disorder is fraught with uncertainty and subjectivity.
