My friend and colleague, and teacher, Bessel van der Kolk, a psychiatrist who wrote the book 'The Body Keeps the Score,' said to me once, 'Gabor, you don’t have to drag your hurts around with you all the time,' which means you don’t have to allow—not to forget about the hurts, but not to let that control your consciousness.
