If we are forced to remain in life-circumstances that have generated the PD from the beginning, how can we expect improvement? If we take medication so that we can punch that time clock one more day, why should we be surprised that our condition worsens? To a large extent we feel trapped by our obligations and the lack of support. But a part of that is illusion. What if the DX had been a brain tumor? Why would change have been possible but not with PD?

Remember that we respond to placebo at twice the normal rate. When we are given permission to improve, we do so.

Remember that when we "lose" our selves at a wood lathe or potter's wheel or the end of a joint, a miracle occurs.

There is untapped potential there, for sure.
