“When the cinema lights go down and the movie starts, it's such a relaxing moment knowing you can get away from your problems in the real world temporarily.

“At the beginning of one session when I asked carelessly, 'How are you?' Archie gently reminded me of my insensitivity. 'That's a difficult question, to which I only have a complicated answer.' I should have known better. The number of times friends and clients have told me people ask, 'How are you?' and they want to scream, 'How the hell do you think I am, given...? I asked Archie if there was a better question, remembering the Sheryl Sandberg suggestion: 'How are you today?' He said, 'I don't think people really want to hear the answer. They want to hear you're fine so they don't have to put a lot of effort in. I've noticed people tend to stay away now. My social network has shrunk. It isn't deliberate. They feel helpless... If they ask I tend to talk around the edges.' I was moved by the truth of his words, and how isolating suffering can be. I told him I really wanted to know.”

“When reading the mind it is easier to catch an innocent than a guilty. One more inaccuracy of the mechanism. Because the innocent has remorses for something that happened without their will or control and constantly remembers things that could render them guilty from sense of ethics while the guilty has never remorses for something that happened with their will or generally. Or never worries.”
