<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi June, this is a very
welcome statement for the list. <br>
<br>
If I was to coin a bit of a provocation based on it - the extent
to which the cognitive and action aspects of our lives are
driven/shaped by our imaginal and embodied emotional agendas do
seem to me to generally remain out of reach in the conversations
here. But then as I well understand, this is partly due to the
professional capture and sequestration of psychological knowledge
by pharma and medicine. We embrace physical fitness but psy
fitness still seems </font><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif">trapped behind the 'mental illness' fiction and </font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">off the activist and academic
life agendas.<br>
<br>
For some constructive examples of how this stranglehold on psy
fitness can be contradicted, listers might like to see my <a
