Ambiguity of Suffering

August 4, 2016 | Eldership Academy Team

by Nader R. Shabahangi, Ph.D. Eldership Academy Press (2018) $24.95 Softcover, plus shipping The development from psychoanalysis to Processwork can be summarised in the way we understand human suffering. Whereas psychoanalysis still understands suffering as a disease to be overcome, Processwork views human suffering as a key to awareness. Understood as such, suffering holds one of the deeper meanings of life: the ability to connect with your soul, your deep humanity. It is this connection with suffering that pushes us to become ever more aware. Rather than trying to eliminate suffering, we can celebrate it as an opportunity to deepen who we are. This book is my effort to re-introduce a love of philosophy to psychology. Suffering holds one of the deeper meanings of life: the ability to connect with your soul, your deep humanity.
