-because there is always a problem--A problem that causes the depression. --And so i first try all my patients on a strict mental health vitamin regimen.Then i get my little component cards-and explain what we are to do with them. they are" REALITY THERAPY components WRITTEN ON CARDS[ FOR EASE OF REARRAINGING] so far- the cards are as follows.HUMAN MOTIVATIONS THEY ARE [5] =s=survival,p=power,f=fun,fr=freedom,l=love,andbelonging..-----5 cards---------- ;/////--then the components of total behavior[4]//PHYSIOLOGY OF THE ACTION or body=B,THIS CARD HAS A BIG "B"B FOR BODY;T=TOUGHTS E=EMOTIONS ;AND -A- FOR THE PHYSICAL ACTION= WHICH MAY BE BITTING FINGER-NAILS ABSENTLY OR ANY THOT OR FEELING THEY...THESE BEHAVIOR CARDS=4-CARDS ;ARE USED ALLWAYS AS A WHOLE, AS NO ACTION CAN CONTAIN LESS THAN ALL FOUR ELEMENTS/// .....so i turned the components OR ELEMENTS into symbols that were easy to work with/ and WE play with them to see what we can uncover components OR ELEMENTS into symbols that were easy to work with and WE SIT AND WRITE 3 LAST CARDS = THE QUALITY WORLD CARD , ONE THAT SAYS- REAL WORLD AND LASTLY ONE "BALANCING PLACE"

USINGTHESE CARDS ARE SELF EXPLANITORY NOW AN ANOREXIC PERSON COULD BE SAID TO BE HIDING ALL THEIR CARDS ON THE TABLE UNDER THE POWER CARD!!OR POWER OVER SURVIVAL[ P/S] !!!!!! BECAUSE----I DONT KNOW!!!!! -----THE ISSUE OF DRUG ABUSE IS THOUGHT TO BE THE PROBLEM OF PUTTING THE FUN CARD ABOVE THE SURVIVAL CARD=== F/S . A PERSON WHO IS A BULIMIC--- THE ISSUE OF POWER COMES TO PLAY as in POWER OVER INTAKE -OUTPUT= BEING( POWER OVER FUN, BODY ,SURVIVAL FREEDOM) OR (/F,S,FREEDOM .,FUN ] MAY BE TWISTED TO SEEM THAT THE PILE OF CARDS -----[ LIFE] IS COMPLETELY ECLIPSED BY THE CONTOL=(POWER) OVER++++++ FUN FREEDOM, LOVE,ECT SO [ P/F,S,FUN,LOVE POWER OVER ALL DESIRES AND DRIVES][

THIS IS PURE REALITY THERAPY I BELIEVE ,] .SEE?..] 2))))). In my view, usually- if there are no other possibilitys; then it can beFIRST first surmized that students, no longer are at home getting the small amount of vitamins from their parentS, made for them in those home meals,and not many parents fix great nutritious foodin america-it is all convenience and quickness so here is where i start them. -..../.the patients[+91%] of all my DEPRESSION patients---have a good time with them. showing an ability to identify with the card represented concepts;as well as a desire for an intimate understanding of sickness and mental problems---AS WELL AS THE DESIRE TO PARTICIPATE in learning how their mindworks ...it seems that some just need to be understood ,they need to say that which they have never dared to say-or even think....
