Great to see you writing in KTHT Kim. I consider KTHT to be my spiritual homegroup. The overarching takeaway of your very fine article is that the only thing we can control is our reactions and our attitudes. Each of the 5 points the book makes is a restatement of the same point with different language. You have much more insight than the doctor. I think this article of mine will resonate with you. If you recognize the notions on acceptance as Ekhart Tolle's, that's because he stole the idea from the "Big Book" of AA, which I credit where credit is due. https://medium.com/my-selection/my-selection-alcoholics-anonymous-colloquially-known-as-the-big-book-638b5ad7f2e1.
