Abstract

This chapter overviews the breakdown of the closed society, which surrounds us in our ubiquitous alienation and malaise. Manifested in generational gaps and grasping for “system” by youth clamoring for friends in an impersonal city, and desperate for a new all knowing and powerful dictator to lead them, the appeal of socialism beckons those too young to know why it always fails. We need to learn coping strategies for our gut and ANS that do not depend upon the dictatorial strategies of therapy (especially behavioristic) and our dependence upon the medical model of cut it out or drug it into oblivion. We need instead to model therapy upon coaching to learn and improve life skills, such as agile thinking to increase our competence and confidence, and using our ANS instead of fearing and repressing it.
