San Francisco psychotherapist Marty Cooper writes an excellent and insightful blog combining some of the best ideas of Western psychotherapy and Eastern philosophy. His most recent entry explores the idea of growth through "emotional throughput"--rather than building up walls to protect ourselves from feelings that threaten to overwhelm us, he suggests, why not imagine opening and closing shutters instead? It's your choice what to let in, and also your choice whether to keep it inside or let it pass through. Check out his entry at The Wild Moods: Open on both sides: Emotional "Throughput".
