I have been thinking about the recovery time associated with psychological therapies or individual meditation.

What if the time it takes to heal is related to how long we have been carrying our wounds? What if it’s similar to the process of losing weight? Losing weight healthily takes as long as it took to gain it. Does the healing process work in the same way?

If so, unfortunately, I would say that we have screwed up!

Almost everyone I know, or have read or listened to, has experienced trauma in childhood. Does this mean that someone who has lived with those traumas for 30 years can only be saved in their sixties?
Could the serenity that descends on ageing people be because they have completed their recovery?

When I tried to calculate this for myself, I became depressed. I hope I am wrong this time.
But if it’s true, should we spread the news and try to save the younger generations?
