Healing "Yourself" Part 2
As I said, self-healing is a process that is naturally given to our body and mind, but must be actively guided (at least in the case of mental ailments). Which, by the way, coincides one hundred percent with Buddhist teachings, Buddha explained again and again that the diseases of the mind come from the ego, from overbred fears, worries and senseless self-torture, when again the thoughts (uncontrolled) begin to take on a life of their own.
But does such an approach (self-healing) make sense to you at all? Do you have the willpower, the ability to suffer and the appropriate character? To stay with the words of Buddha, it will come that way if it is meant to come that way!
As a first intermediate goal you have to make a plan, without a plan nothing works. This plan should be comprehensive, similar to a construction plan for a house or a hotel, encompassing all the important cornerstones. Unlike such a house plan, your self-coaching plan can be changed again and again, every day, every hour. In order to work out such a workflow you need the ability to analyze your life relentlessly, i.e. also to look at the sufferings of the moment.
You cannot run away from fate, you have to look at the here and now as it is, not as you wish it to be. You are old and sick, then it is so. You are not very smart, then you have to live with it. You are overweight, you don't have to live with that. You are addicted (alcohol, drugs, sex, power or money), you can change that.
What do you suffer from?
According to the teacher of all teachers (Buddha), we create our own suffering, we control everything with our ego, which has just been shaped by karma. So when we decide to stop suffering, it is "the first part of the plan to Nirvana", which you can call self-therapy. Do you want to change? Then just do it!
The method for a healing of your self is the teaching of Buddhism, which hooks straight at the disturbances of the mental activities. You have to face up to them, a normal doctor can only help in an accompanying way (better ask yourself about risks and side effects), because no doctor in the world has enough time for you (the average time a patient spends at a doctor's office in Germany is about 5 minutes). Nevertheless, you have to inform yourself, form an opinion before you start. Especially on the net there are countless guides to self-healing, pick the material that makes sense for you.

The way is just thereby the goal!
Only then the wounds would heal
