Though Michael tried hard not to be negative, his spirit was broken
by years of rejection and feelings of inadequacy. He was told by his
therapist that he could overcome his negative attitude, but that first
he would have to be willing to face past demons. After many sessions
and positive reinforcement activities, Michael’s well-established
walls of negativity were slowly being torn down by his therapist.
Today, Michael is on the road to recovery. He is now perceived by
family and friends as a man with an improving outlook on life.
