What Is Addiction, Really? It Is A

One Can Only Remember What Has Been Consciously Experienced.

The Truth About Our Childhood Is Stored Up In Our Body, And Although We Can Repress It, We Can Never Alter It. Our Intellect Can Be Deceived, Our Feelings Manipulated, And Conceptions Confused, And Our Body Tricked With Medication. But Someday Our Body Will Present Its Bill, For It Is As Incorruptible As A Child, Who, Still Whole In Spirit, Will Accept No Compromises Or Excuses, And It Will Not Stop Tormenting Us Until We Stop Evading The Truth.

I Have Never Known A Patient To Portray His Parents More Negatively Than He Actually Experienced Them In Childhood But Always More Positively--because Idealization Of His Parents Was Essential For His Survival.

Genuine Feelings Cannot Be Produced, Nor Can They Be Eradicated. We Can Only Repress Them, Delude Ourselves, And Deceive Our Bodies. The Body Sticks To The Facts.

The Victimization Of Children Is Nowhere Forbidden; What Is Forbidden Is To Write About It.
