Robert A. Johnson
“Over the years I discovered that virtually everyone who comes to analysis is in some way facing a religious crisis, a term I prefer to neurosis, and every analysis is in some way a religious dilemma.”
Robert A. Johnson, Balancing Heaven and Earth: A Memoir of Visions, Dreams, and Realizations

Bryant McGill
“Carefully analyze the old stories that you choose to perpetually tell, for these are really life-long meditations.”
Bryant McGill, Simple Reminders: Inspiration for Living Your Best Life
