Why You Can’t Just “Think Positive” to Feel Better – Episode 10
This important episode highlights and contrasts Friendly Mind with other methods, identifying similarities yet making the valuable differences clear. Friendly Mind clarifies how affirmations, positive thinking, ‘fixing’ feelings, self-judgment, and the more conventional expression of “I’m fine” all fall short of true healing.

These distinctions help us understand the subtlety of Friendly Mind. Listen to this episode . . .
