Overthink and Teflonmind
It is fundamental to the mystical tradition that many, if not most, psychopathologies are either generated by, or supported with, conscious, cognitive thinking. As the Buddhists so well say, "All hells are selfcreated."
What is recommended, for people of both sexes, is "acognitive therapy" -- solving major thought-problems through learning the art of constructive nonthinking. The goal is to create and maintain healthy, Lovebased detachment.
This involves "running the trm ("thought-replacement mechanism")," or repeating a simple, four-syllable phrase, as often as possible, at any time during the day whenyou have an extra few seconds or couple of minutes. It facilitates the discovery of "crystalmind" or "stillmind," which is free of all the pathogenic thoughts. This constructive nondoing can be the best thing you never did! :)
