This is a chapter from Gendlin's book "Let Your Body Interpret Your Dreams". In my opinion, there are no other dream books necessary. Gendlin said that the first question needs to be asked every time. After that, scan the list ...

The thing about thoughts is that they aren't feelings. I have great respect for so many therapeutic orientations that are analytic, especially the depth psychological approaches, which have traditionally been more cognitive in nature. I also have great respect for ...
