Behaviour Change

When reduction of a symptom is mild, obviously its source and cause still exist, so relapses can and do occur. In contrast, after the mental model at the root of symptom production has been unlearned and nullified, relapse is not possible and the symptom is fully eliminated.

It hardly seems an exaggeration to regard the limbic brain’s power to create emotional reality as a kind of magic, or maya, that immerses one in a potent spell that feels absolutely real and would last for a lifetime.
