I sogni sono da sempre una grande ricchezza e non solo per la psicanalisi. Lo sapevano già gli uomini dei tempi antichi: essi, che leggevano il corpo come parte dell'anima e l'anima come espressione del corpo, conoscevano la chiave dei sogni e sapevano trarne indicazioni pratiche per aiutare la guarigione. Oggi, di fronte alla scissione tra corpo e anima generata da un pensiero dominato dalla ragione, il sogno si pone come un'interfaccia in grado di riconciliare queste due parti di noi.

Growing up the good girl in an Irish American family full of drinkers and terrible sleepers, Kathleen Frazier was 12 when her seemingly innocent sleepwalking turned dangerous. Over the next few years, she was a popular A+ student by day, the star of her high school musical. At night she both longed for and dreaded sleep. Frazier moved to Manhattan in the 1980s, hoping for a life in the theater but getting a run of sleepwalking performances instead.

Vivemos em uma sociedade de excessos. Somos bombardeados por informações que, na maior parte das vezes, não conseguimos absorver. Somos cobrados, pressionados, nos tornamos reféns da nossa mente. Essa situação alterou algo que deveria ser inviolável ? o ritmo de construção de pensamentos ?, gerando consequências seríssimas para a saúde emocional, o prazer de viver, a inteligência, a criatividade. Pensar é bom, pensar com consciência crítica é melhor ainda, mas pensar excessivamente é uma bomba contra a qualidade de vida e um intelecto criativo e produtivo.

"L'uomo in un caos diventa un caos; l'uomo, fatto vivere come una bestia, diventa bestia." Lo sa bene Milvia, trentatré anni, che nel 1968, quando si racconta ad Anna Maria Bruzzone, è già al secondo ricovero presso l'Ospedale psichiatrico di Gorizia. Fino a poco fa quella del manicomio era un'istituzione dalle caratteristiche simili a quelle della prigione, dominata da pratiche violente e rapporti verticali disumanizzanti; uscirne era quasi impossibile.

One of my best friends developed an eating disorder. As the disorder progressed I knew I needed to find help for her, and fast. I made the decision to approach her, express my concerns, and offer my support. The extraordinary thing is, despite her fears, she put her trust in me and leaned on my shoulder.

Correctly understanding the theology of worry is critical to true transformation.
