I would like to thank each and every one of you for your kind words that touched me deeply. It is comforting to see Art was able to touch so many lives.
He was indeed an extraordinary man and his development of Primal Therapy is one of the most important discovery in psychology as it is the only treatment that addresses pain from all stages of life, starting at birth, helping and allowing the patients to feel that pain, freeing them forever from its lifelong consequences.
Some of you have expressed curiosity as to what will happen to the blog. Unfortunately it will not go on as Art was the only one to write articles, but it will remain online so that people can go back to the old posts. You may not be aware that Dr. Janov started the blog in 2008 and you may not have read all the posts! We will be bringing older articles back up in the current blog.
My best,
Dr. France Janov
Dear France,
ReplyDeletethank you.
very best regards

Thank you, France, for all the posts. I for one find in them much wisdom and truth about pain and the acknowledgement we have to go through pain to release it. I hope primal therapy goes on for decades so people will have a place to learn to heal.
ReplyDeleteTake good care.
Thank you for this update, France, and of course thank you for all your work and the Legacy program (which I'm saving up for :-)).
ReplyDeleteI have always liked the subtitle of the blog: The Simple Truth is Revolutionary. I hope that one day the simple truth does gain popular acceptance, and the revolution, momentum. For the moment it seems, one is never thanked for starting a revolution!

Dear France
ReplyDeleteMy heart is with you.
France - I noted earlier that I have Art's picture on my wall, where I see it daily. Yours is there too, right next to Art's. You remain in my thoughts. Dan Krettek

Hallo, France
ReplyDeleteThank you for your message! I feel his loss so often and so deeply! Only looking at his photograph makes me realise even more how different he was from the monotonous humdrum shrinks. I would say he wasn't one of the most important' but THE most important in the field of psychotherapy. Much more so than Freud, Jung and the others. What a wonderful friend he must have been. There will never be another like him. I wish I could come for the therapy but my money isn't enough at present. I hope you are keeping well despite your great loss. My best to you from Sandie B.
Hello France.
ReplyDeleteI'm incredibly happy and thankful for you sharing your knowledge.
I can not say by words how you've helped me to understand my feelings and what I need to do. It's so easy to understand you as you explain how a process goes on
on Youtube, I've seen everything you've posted about primaltherapy.
A couple of years ago, I was firmly stuck in my hopelessness and could not do anything to help myself, then I saw you describe the process and I could continue to help myself, great to have that help.
I am very grateful for your work and very grateful that I have learned from it. I'm doing great today, I know what I have to work with and I understand myself in a fantastic way. Today I have the opportunity to get in touch with my innermost and at last I can feel my need of love. It's great to be in it, it's easy now because I recognize it and I dare to allow myself to feel and dare to come along and dare to stay there for as long as necessary.
What I've discovered about myself that is I have to dare to feel and acknowledge and let it get up so I can be with it. I feel very happy because I did not know at what level everything was. I am relieving from a very deep pain and I'm glad I have understood what I need to do.
I can not by words thank you and your amazing Arthur enough for your wonderful work.
Thanks!

To France, and others, I wish there were no such thing as death and no one would have to feel the cold hard reality that their loved one will never come back. Life is so beautiful and brutal. I hope anyone who has lost a loved one is still getting lots and lots of hugs from someone who feels your tears, and loves you deeply forever. I know the pain is huge and it must be felt, and the loss will be felt forever but I am sure that a million hugs will help a little.
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing, France. You are amazing too.
