Love: The Healing Force of the Universe

                   "Love is the greatest weapon there is, 
                              for it pierces the heart without wounding it."

Love is one of the great mysteries that have perplexed us since our existence. On the surface, men and women seem very different, so it is amazing that we come together at all. As a result, even from birth most of us have felt a deep sense of aloneness or separation from others. Yet, in spite of all the trials and seeming incompatibilities between men and women, love is the bridge that nature provided that enables us to come together!

Deep down everyone wishes that they could have a magical life full of love. Yet many of us do things both subconsciously or consciously to avoid love. This paradox is so common in our society today that Dr. Landrith has written an article covering in detail how to get out of this trap (see below). However, many great philosophers have pointed out that, although on the surface outer things may appear different from us, on a more sublime level we may actually be a part of the same wholeness.  If this is indeed true, then love might be the ultimate way to achieve lasting growth and healing in our life, because it bridges the gap between our self and others.
 

Yet despite the great promise of relationships, the majority of clients that have approached Dr. Landrith have come because of problems with love.  Quite often they regularly attract the wrong kind of person or attract relationships that seem to “go nowhere.” What is amazing is that these patterns keep repeating themselves time and time again. Yet in spite of the fact that most are aware that they are in a relationship trap, they are unable to do anything about it.  In addition, many have what could be termed “control” issues. This is where the person may end up with someone who is not appropriate for them (controlling partners) or they end up in a kind of “helping” relationship, rather than a relationship based on mutual love and respect. Interestingly very often individuals who are having problems with love are very successful in other areas of their lives.  And yet when they fall in love, everything seems to fall apart, and they do not seem to have the same capacity to handle love as they do their professional lives.

Dr. Landrith has found that the reason why we so often become confused when we are in love, stems from the fact that we have built-in protection mechanisms in our brain that help protect us from pain. These instinctive protection mechanisms are actually a good thing in some ways, because they provide us with a wall or buffer so that we do not experience too much pain. Unfortunately, the help we get from these protection mechanisms comes at a cost. And the cost is that we end up closing off certain parts of ourselves in order to survive pain and trauma. In short they do their job so well that they also close us up and protect us from love. Unfortunately, this closing up also keeps us from being healed from the original stress or trauma. That is because in order to become healed from pain, one must ultimately face the pain so it can be released.
 

Since most of us have had dysfunctional childhoods and other traumas in life, it is obvious that we have some residues of unhealed pain lying dormant within us.  Normally, we are not aware of these residues; however, when we start to fall in love, these unhealed pains start to re-emerge. The reason for this is that in order to experience love, we must open up in order to let another person share our life. This process, in turn, breaks down some of our protection mechanisms and opens up some of our unhealed wounds. As a result, some of this old pain starts to come into our awareness. When this happens the pain from these old wounds can in turn color our experience of love. Naturally when this occurs, we become confused as to exactly why we are feeling these moods. As a result, people tend to attribute this as being caused by the relationship or the person they're involved with. However the truth of the matter is that quite often our own past pain, which is now shaping our present relationship, causes these ups and downs. However if we look at things another way, if we are with the right partner, the relationship can become a vehicle for us to release the past so we can build something entirely new and beautiful.   

So the experience of love can allow these locked-up stresses to become released, so that we can become free from the old blocks that have been holding us back. So “love” is not only extremely exhilarating, but also, in a very real sense, can be our greatest healer and growth provider. The key is to find a way to work through this process so you can be set free to create a magical life with someone very special!

However, just the knowledge about this process is not enough.  In fact, most people seem to be at least partially aware that they are in some kind of trap.  Unfortunately, these innate protection mechanisms are very powerful and usually can only be circumvented by actually changing the wiring in our brain.  Dr. Landrith has found that by using techniques of self-hypnosis and meditation along with nutritional counseling, we can actually change the wiring in our brain from one of protection to one of embracing love.

A.G. a 38 Year Old Married Female who lives on East Coast wrote:
I heard about Dr. Landrith from a Psychic who recommended him to me. I was having problems in my marriage and was very confused about what to do. The psychic gave him such a glowing recommendation that I decided to give him a try. At first I had some reservations about seeing a therapist over the phone but since my psychic also does readings that way, I figured why not. Before I called Dr. Landrith I checked out his web site and was very impressed. Since he offers a free 15-minute consultation, I called him up to see if I liked him.

After just a few minutes it became obvious that Dr. Landrith was unique from psychologists I had seen before. He seemed to intuitively know things about me. But even more he had answers to questions that I had never heard before in all my years of therapy. I liked his idea that in order to heal, we must work on the mind, body and spirit. As I told him all the problems in my marriage, Dr. Landrith explained to me that first we would work on me and then later we would see about couples counseling. He told me that after someone goes thru their own healing, often their relationship with their spouse improves as well.

When I read Dr. Landrith’s paper on Love, it really blew me away. What he said in 
that paper was so true; I had been re-living my parent’s marriage all over again in my
present marriage. This clarified so much about why I chose my husband (he was distant
just like my dad was). In essence I was playing out the same old patterns that I had 
grown up with. However Dr. Landrith explained to me that this revelation was not 
enough, as we needed to heal the patterns that got me into this trap.
