Exactly, I remember one thing that made a fair impression on me from Alfred Adler about 'self-ideal.' Pretty much trying to fix your past is only going to provide a negligible benefit in a best case scenario. He said a person would be much more psychologically healthy to see themselves in a desirable future than try and resolve past problems.
Sure I have some issues with it, but it does seem important to feeling 'well' that people have some place they want to go in their future.
I never did get any emails, except the first.
