The last post was obviously a poor retelling of an old joke.
But as with many jokes it harbours an uncomfortable truth: how we set ourselves up determines to a large extent how we interpret what happens to us and how we behave in those states of affairs we meet continually each day.
The meaning and significance we give to events makes a difference and the fact that we give them their meaning means we can reinterpret events - not change how we remember what happened but re-evaluate, not through rose-tinted spectacles.
Bad things and bad people are just that: what matters is that their influence on us is appropriate to a particular time in our life and doesn't continue to dominate our thinking.
How did we learn to keep away from open flames when we were young and how do we think about fire now?

About Me
- PM
- I am a middle aged medic who is interested in Modelling Behaviour. I have 12 yrs experience and attend trainings regularly with John McWhirter at Sensory Systems Training in Glasgow, Scotland. I am interested in stammering and I am convinced that in the majority of cases it is a behaviour and not an affliction. Rather than lurk on other sites I decided to share my thinking on a blog.
