A healthy body-mind is like a safe, clean, quiet, cozy room. It is presided over by you, not by anyone or anything else. In this room, there are no screams of terror or horror, no unforgivable guilt or shame banging on the door. Nor are there graffiti on the walls: “You should or should have, you won’t, you can’t.” Your room often has visitors but it is not haunted by archaic ghosts, obsessions, or compulsions. Nor is it cluttered by grudges.
