Are you talking about the common situation where we create and fuel depression? An activity we choose to engage in, like chronic anger and anxiety?
So perhaps the real question is: what goes on in the minds of those who quit smoking easily with hypnosis vs those who struggle on their own for years.

So perhaps the real question is: what goes one brains of those who experience amnesia, but then after some months regain abilities.

. When we consider the complexity of human experiencing it seems to me that simple explanations using a couple of concepts such as: good & bad, or responsibility & choice, fall far short of having any real explanatory power.

. When Tubbs puts hooks in his back 'cause he is more responsible and chooses with more awareness than the rest of us, & chooses to demonstrate how these ideals empower him ... then perhaps this idea, that he has been fixated on for years, may seem to hold more water.
. Why a web forum, for a site that celebrates the ability of drugs to enable the brain to be more plastic, attracts folks that fixate on pet ideas, seems a little strange to me, but apparently it has done so over the years; - for over the years, there have been many, that fall into such a pattern. . So I simply now accept another mystery of human behavior. Live and let live.

I have some models I'm partial to, too,
but try not to play favorites, with the kids.
I like Fehmi's "open Focus" model of attention, Ajahn Sumedho's use of the sound of silence, for meditation, and some, (but not all ) of the NLP stuff, for example.

I think the negatives need to be looked at in order to be turned into positives. You can get a positive with two negatives (a math joke lol). It is one thing to try to see the best of things or try to see the good things within the bad things but I hate people who always just say oh just be positive and it seems like their lives are always perfect or nothing is ever wrong with their lives and they're bubbly and unnaturally happy all the time. These people don't understand the struggles.
The only way to bring upon positive change is to look at the "negative" things in life. You could change the word negative into something a little bit more positive like "faults" or "issues" but at the end of the day it would only be semantics.

Those are indoctrinated realists conforming to their paradigm. I am going to argue that isn't a true realist, and that a true realist could look beyond such established protocols within a given paradigm.
Especially the "Medical Treatment Options" part, which leans more towards capitalism than being realistic. When is the last time your doctor prescribed you something not in a pill?

Probably when they realized people are highly unlikely to take or sustain advice that requires more effort than downing a 4oz cup of water.
Just joking... but not really.

The pharmacies, I'd imagine, are heavily invested in the "options" doctors are taught to give to patients, and in America this helps to create medicines with margins than can exceed 1000%.
