Front Porch Psychology-Therapy

"A patient enters therapy insisting that he wants to change, but more often than not,
what they really desire is to remain the same and to get the therapist to make them feel better."

The Sane Asylum Classic

A funny thing happened on the way to therapy

“I wish you'd help me look into a more interesting problem - namely, my sanity.”

Stopped to Ponder-Ego

Ego is the persistence of animal instinct from an earlier part of the brain. The frontal cortex emerged later and allows thinking. However, the thinking is then used for animal goals [...] We now have rivalry and the quest for domination via the intellect, rather than teeth, claws, etc.”
— Dr. David Hawkins, Sedona Seminar, October 2003

Inside The Sane Asylum-I Remember

Clean Well Lighted Place

It was very late and everyone had left the cafe,
except an old man who sat in the
shadows. In the day time the street was dusty,
 but at night the dew settled the
dust. The old man liked to sit late because he was deaf
and now at night it was
quiet and he felt the difference. The two waiters inside the cafe
knew that the old
man was a little drunk, and while he was a good client they
knew if he became to
drunk he would leave without paying, so they kept watch on him...

From The Road-The Fisherman

As I approached, he looked up and with a smile, said
"The weather is here, wish you were beautiful."
He was from up north but moved here years ago. Said his
fishing got in the way of working,so he gave up working.

I told him the fisherman down the way said he had hooked an eight foot shark, but it got away.

He quipped, "Nothing grows faster than when a fish is hooked till the time
it gets away." "You know," he said, "fishing for me has never been about the fish,
so I spend most of my time fishing, the rest I just waste." He asked me if I knew the secret
to getting your wife to let you go fishing every day. I told him I was always interested in secrets.
"Well, set your alarm for 4:30 am and nudge your wife and ask, fishing or sex. Said his wife would roll over
and remind him to lock the door on his way out." As I bid him farewell, I wished him luck. He said, "As
Hemingway once wrote...Its better to be lucky, but I had rather be exact. Then when luck happens you are ready for it."

His name is...Marven
