Needs and abuse of Xanax

Regarding Xanax (Alprazolam) it is available in Englishspeaking countries under 28 different brand names! The marketing and promotion of this drug alone are so big and efficient that everything, ever, being said about Primal Therapy is like a whispering in Siberia. Even Art Janov’s Reflection of the “Abuse of Xanax” is an indirect promotion of Xanax and its 27 fellow brand names when he helps to hammer in the name... He ends nicely by saying: “Let’s not stop the painkillers that ease the suffering of so many.” Earlier in the article he said: “If we finally know what it (the anxiety attacks) is, and instead of pushing it down, we let it up in small doses and be done with it”. Get me right, I’m being a critic, but of course, I agree with his proposal to relive the pain and gradually reduce the use of painkillers.

We know that we can find out of what it is. PT works. There are a number of us who know. I have my (often well documented) story and others of course, have theirs. How about bringing together a number of Primal People to investigate/research why and how some succeeded and others failed. Where did we go wrong and what could have been done differently and better? 

How do we establish a new attractive vision for PT which in its ambition is the main road to health and sane thinking through fulfillment of basic human needs like love and attention. There is a way to mobilize the masses and communicate this, as it ironically turns out, alternative road to get rid of mental pain.

If there ever has been a success in PT, let us bring it up in the open and tell about it repeatedly. Nothing succeeds like success. Everybody wants to be part of a success. Let us start to talk about “Life after Primal Therapy” and write articles about successes and give multidimensional examples of what these successes have meant and how they have turned our lives normal.

Let us be positive, active and productive to give all sufferers something to believe in. To paraphrase Soren Kirkegaard:

    There are two ways not to be fooled:

    One is to believe what is true,

    The other is to refuse to believe what is not true....

I wonder how many people are willing to write articles on “Life after Primal Therapy”....
