🔑 Key takeaways
- Our relation to our memories is the difference between profound happiness and PTSD. With the right technique, we can transform every relation and thus the state it causes.
- "Listening is of profound importance. It's made of the ability to put myself in the shoes of another person, and I teach people how to do that and how to get out again. Because if you get in the shoes of another person and you can't get out again, this will be very, painful for you. It's called codependence." -- Dr. Robert
- Non-judgment is impossible; what most people really want is no *negative* judgment
