Finally got around to starting Jeffrey Kripal's "Esalen: America and the Religion of No Religion" that's been in the pile for a while. I just finished the section on Fritz Perls and had a sudden memory of being 15 and finding his biography "In and Out the Garbage Pail" in a library and taking it out to read. The whole #GestaltTherapy thing was mind blowing to my teen self, which loved the brutal honesty. My current self things that it was unnecessarily unkind, even if effective for some.
