Frogs & Princes is written for those seeking: Self-understanding and self-healing, As an introduction to the liberating adventure of: Psycho- Self-Exploration (PSE). |
PSE is a highly effective self-directed form of psychotherapy based predominately
upon the principles of Transactional Analysis. I developed
the fundamentals of PSE in 1995 in response to personal difficulties to
which both current and traditional trends in thinking offered no hope of
an acceptable resolution. Healers, counselors, friends, and family
alike believed that the factors contributing to and promoting the development
and perpetuation of my fifteen-year-long addiction to amphetamines must
be either genetic in nature or imprinted on such a deep level psychologically
as to be completely incurable.
This work is the product of six long years of grappling with those impediments
that would come between me and the realization of my hopes and aspirations.
During the final three years, the intensity of the struggle had, at times,
reached the level of a pitched battle for survival, with me clinging by
my fingernails to the precipice of sanity as the weight of this nightmarish
curse threatened to tumble my soul, headlong, into a never-ending descent
down the black, yawning maw of the maelstrom of chemical bondage.
Of Frogs & Princes represents the culmination of this million-mile
journey out of darkness and the fruition of my labors of the last few years,
at last uncovering the answers that I have so fiercely sought.
I now invite you along as I share my story for the benefit of those who
still suffer in hopes that they too may make the choice to live.
