One lesson that should be learned very early in life is about empathy and acceptance, about understanding that when people avoid or are otherwise unaccepting of someone in distress, that they are actually caught up in denying and resisting the resonating distress within themselves. And that we would all be much better off making it easy and acceptable for everyone to express themselves without fear of not being accepted, and then nobody would need to feel that they were “not normal” because of their issues. And then, if we all felt free to express what is in us, there would be so much less to need to address such things in counseling sessions, and we could all feel far more comfortable in our own skin, What a wonderful world it could be!
