Our inner doctor...

Albert Schweitzer wrote, “Each patient carries his own doctor inside him…..We are at our best (as psychologists) when we give the doctor who resides within each patient a chance to go to work.”

There is great relief in knowing you do not need answers to help those around you. You need to listen carefully and encourage the story, the inner doctor, to surface and engage. Friendship, marriage, and therapy are better when we take the time to allow those around us to become---to see themselves.
