I want to mention that when I discovered this biology of emotions and
used the self-help measures based on this, I had no support from anyone
to guide me other than my new understanding of the biology. This
understanding is what I am offering to others by publishing the article
on the Internet. Also, I occasionally used other techniques along with
these meausres. I need to say that I have never proposed the self-help
measures as the only way, although they will work fully by themselves.
The toxic mind theory supports most therapies and many other techniques,
such as those of Thomas Stone, Jean Jensen, Stettbacher, Hubbard, and
others, and I have mentioned these in the longer version of my article.
I feel hurt and angry when people suggest that I am proposing this as
the only way.

I hope this is clear to anyone interested in the self-help measures. I
also want to say that if anyone is using the self-help measures by
themselves, it is very important to keep re-reading the article so as to
understand how these measures work, and all of the explanations of what
post-flood is, i.e. the end of the major detoxification of repressed
anger, and that there will continue be some lingering anger that needs
to be redirected for a good year, and that there will be a long period
of grief, and that there will always be a need to be vigilant about not
suppressing anger in current interactions. Being normal does not mean a
sustained 'high.' It is having all the emotions we were born
with--anger, sadness, and joy. Please keep re-reading the articles. The
purpose of this list is not to repeat what can be found in the articles,
but to provide a place for further understanding and new ways to use the
self-help meauses that some of you have shared with me.
