It's easy to forgive people after they've been caught.

brothers and sisters--more egalitarian

Not if the victim was your child.

Bonnie, re your question re how to use story around the tragic events:

Especially good if you can put the videos on the site.

religion speaking.. Language of forgiveness

Easier, at least. Forgiveness is overrated in my experience.

I agree, Zach

Not to the one giving it.

Good to know there's support on this limb Sharon.

When people forgive so easily and quickly, what is happening in their Shadow? Whisper who dares! (This is a rhetorical comment, not requiring response.)

I am thinking of what South Africa did after the end of Aprartheid. The people effected by people via the system, were allowed to tell their stories of what happened to them, how the others' behaviors effected them. It was an important part of the healing for the individuals and the nation.

i am sure there are others..

Why are we assuming that forgiving is "easy?"

Donna May That was obviously useful, but it's not a panacea. I think if we were to ask Susan Scott or other South Africans today, you would find that a LOT of healing is still to be done; as is the case in the American South--obviously.

Truly forgiving is a serious psychological shift.

Skip, nothing is a panacea.

Quite so!

i think that forgiveness is derived from religious dictums and carries with it the notion that it is the 'right' thing to do...

The New York Times LOVES to terrorize 1. New grads 2. Workers over 50 3. Women over 35

cultural brain washing

Eva speaks truth here. Psychology means "the study of soul." Completely lost in most therapeutic and academic use of the word.

Holly Esch I think people outside this group need to hear that loud and clear; time and again!

i think the NYT is way to conservative. There are far better newspapers that speak truth

BTW, there a pro Cognitive Behavioral Therapy op Ed on the New York Times asking whether you really need a therapist anymore with all the new mental health software out there now.

This is a tragedy

Heidegger meditated his way into Nazism

once people broaden their points of reference... The flood gates will flow

Look up "Heidegger's Ragnarok" ; )

"Curing" depression is as simple as performing mental exercises promoted by a program.

there is a real need to put forth other op-eds

The New York Times op Ed page has a series called "Couch," featuring essays by practicing therapists.

thanks everyone

B'bye!

Thank you!

Thank you all for the very rich conversations

Thank you all. Great conversations here.

Many thanks to all of your!

transarency...interesting

I look forward to continuing this conversation with many of you! Such range of experiences and knowledge is wonderful!

For the record: I am not a clinical psychologist, nor do I have any interest in becoming a therapist. Like many, I have come to Dr. Jung's work through a circuitous route, that goes back to 1987. My personal independent study is relatively deep, ongoing, and expected to last a lifetime.

Skip: Same here.

Skip, I always enjoy your writings and contributions to the field.

Thank you all so much for your wonderful contributions to the conversation here. I feel lucky to be part of such an amazing tribe.
