Warm greetings from the ToDo Institute.
I hope you landed on your feet after all that’s gone on in our world recently. If you didn’t land on your feet, give us a call and we’ll help you get back up. “Seven times down, eight times up” is a Japanese maxim that we live by and teach by. It’s an example of the radical common sense of Japanese Psychology that helps us to be resilient in our wild, challenging, and magnificent world.
For over three decades, we have been offering an empowering alternative to the mental health establishment’s overreliance on medication, reinforcement of self-focused attention,n and enhancement of victim identity.
Our alternative approach to mental wellness, informed by Japanese Psychology, goes far beyond symptom reduction. It teaches resilience and takes the mystique out of coping with life. Through our programs, we have translated the wisdom of Japanese Psychology into lifelong practices that nourish your spirit, strengthen your relationships, and deepen your connections with the world.
We challenge misguided notions that are accepted and promoted within our therapeutic culture that are resulting in fragility and confusion for young people who are trying to make sense of the world.
We CAN learn to cope with upsetting feelings. We do NOT need to be warned about and protected from the realities of the world. We DO need to develop the skills that will allow us to function in the world and build our dreams.
Those skills include: coexisting with your feelings, noticing your impact on the world, accepting what is uncontrollable, appreciating your support team, recognizing the richness of the world, living on purpose, taking constructive action, and much more.
The wisdom of Japanese Psychology goes beyond superficial answers and shallow strategies. It addresses the basic issues that we struggle with in our own hearts, in our families, and as global citizens.
We rely on the generosity of those who understand the unique nature of our work. Can we count on your support?
Together we can keep this empowering work alive in the world. Please make a tax-deductible contribution today. THANK YOU!
Gregg joins me in sending our sincere appreciation.
