Welcome, New York members!!

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR EMOTIONAL WELL BEING ! This group is unique in that it focuses on using techniques for dealing with the various components of depression and other suffering. Dealing with your personal history, diagnosing and advice giving are not done. Your personal history may seem interesting but this information does little to help one feel better. This group uses a round -robin format. One is set with a problem in the groups homework and we resolve this with a combination of research and intelligent thinking. Knowledge of basic psychology is helpful . Of views and techniques expressed ,Ms. Delacroix has a preference for the following psychologists: Carl Rogers, Thomas Szasz, Albert Ellis,Carl Jung,Bandura. Carl Jung and Ellis have made much use of a non-religous practice often called Zen . Zen is a non-theological approach to the mind that encompasses ''doing" and training the mind to perceive non-dually. No this isn't Zen itself since that also encompasses an ethical system that is beyond the scope of this group. Let it be understood that Zen is not praying to deities nor reincarnation. One does need to change religous beliefs if any to benefit from this group
