Book excerpt: Decoding Persistent Depression: Book Two - Mind and Body Mysteries is the second piece of a puzzle that addresses a vital and compelling question: What if psychological symptoms aren't necessarily the result of some cause, but personality-based means to achieve goals? This text explores common perceptions of mind-body dichotomy, conscious and unconscious functioning, the role of emotions, defining neurotic characteristics, the diverse origins of problematic perceptions and goals, as well as various symptom functions. Written as a probing conversation with easy metaphors, guiding questions, and enlightening examples, it's comparable to therapy or classroom discussion. The information is presented in a fun, adventurous way, allowing a smoother, more approachable path of discovery. Patient investigation will enable you to detect, examine, and contemplate illuminating clues ? often so subtle as to be easily overlooked ? that may bring a telling pattern to light.
