yes m many Pparkeess need a good swift kick in the butt
others need to be held in our arms and gently rocked

we are all wounded each in their own way
different and the same

Neil Sligar's approach reminds me of Alex Kerten in Israel, 4 or 5 years ago; I have lost contact with him.
I cannot follow him; I am more of a meditation music Parkie; i do not have that raw physical courage, and like all those who fight hard, it hurts to be told that it's your own moral fault for not trying - but we are trying, just not in the same way.

But I also admire the Neil Sligar / Alex Kerten approach, even though I do not do much of it.

I remember Alex as hard-core. How hard-core? Well, if you were a combat engineer on a battle ground and you got wounded in the leg, and it did not set properly, what would be the logical thing to do? What would you think of right away? Ask your best friend to hit you with a crow-bar to really break your leg so that you could re-set it yourself, with no pain-killers? Now THAT is hard-core.

That would never have occurred to me.
