“The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds.†– William James (1842–1910).
The quote from William James, though written more than one hundred years ago, rings with truth about life in family systems plagued with legacies of addiction, mental illness, suicide, and relational or interpersonal trauma.
