Welcome! We love to hear from all over the world here, and Romania is no exception!

I’m so sorry to hear of all that you have gone through and endured. If you want hope and faith for recovery, you certainly did pick a wonderful model of therapy…logotherapy! In “Man’s Search for Meaning” Dr. Frankl explains his modality very well in terms that lay people can truly understand. I’m so glad it helped you!

I got my reference about Dr. Frankl’s child from the following 1997 article:

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E00E1DF1530F937A3575AC0A961958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all

Dr. Frankl’s child was unborn, as his wife was pregnant, but had not delivered the baby into the world yet. I suppose I still accept that as someone having a child and when the Nazi’s took his wife when they entered the camp, they killed both her and their unborn child. I have made that correction to be more unambiguous in my article. Thank you for pointing it out!

You sound like a wonderful mother and wife…a happy one! I’m glad that we can share the same hero because it warms my heart to hear actual accounts of how Dr. Frankl has helped not only those he suffered with in the camps, but people who are suffering all around the world who read his books and other material that people have written about him.

I hope you will continue to contribute to this blog! You have a lot to offer. Again, thank you!

All my best,

Yes, indeed I believe my hero is exceptional! That quote is one of my favorites as well. It is very similar to the others which all have such power!

I’m so glad that you will be reading some of Dr. Frankl’s other works! They are magnificent!
Thank you so much for your comment! I always love to hear from you! Do you have a hero?

Yes, this best seller is incredible! Words cannot truly express the magnitude of brevity that Dr. Frankl displayed during that time.

Thank you for your comment. I will follow your link as soon as I have the time. I am looking forward to seeing who your hero is!

All my best,

I’m so thrilled to hear that you have “overcome” your anxiety attacks! That is so wonderful to read! Yes, when people deny there is an issue, it makes it almost impossible to treat. When they learn to accept what is affecting them, they can then start to get the help they need.

I can agree that medication is usually not a “cure”, but it is often a very necessary part of treatment, not for those with “anxiety”, but for those with an “anxiety disorder” which is very different as it involves a true and real chemical imbalance that many times, must be balanced with medication…but ALSO with positive coping skills.

Thank you so much for your comment. I hope that you will continue to read and share your thoughts.

All my best,

dr. Frankl is my hero too, since i got sick of lyme disease (strage 3 neurological, big pains all around my peripheral nerves and joint, backbone etc.)

For many years i was misdiagnosed and when lyme was diagnosed it was already too late…
i even had to go through a major brain surgery (meningioma) which i still belive it was of an infectious couase (though they could not check that).
Frankl’s books and his logoterapy helpled me cope with my pain and suffering and
even energized me to fight against my pain and sruggle for a meaning in my life
IN SPITE of all my suffering and pain…

I found on YOUR site some referrence you make to “Frankl’s children”…
i have read 4 of his books (including Recollections, which is autobiographical) and other biographycal sketchesm BUT
this is not correct!

before the camp, Frankl got married to Tilly and they were supposed to have a child
te nazi forced her to abort the unborn baby
later Frankl wrote his The unheard cry for meaning in the memory of teir baby
Tilly died in the concentration camp and after liberation Frankl got married with Ellie, and thay had a daughter Gabrielle

here’s what YOU say in your article: “his belief that one day he would be reunited with
his wife and children (who were immediately taken and killed) that helped him
through his daily torment”

NO such children!

would you please consider that matter and do the appropriate corrections?
if you dont’ mind…
anyway i was impressed

I am married, a wonderful wife (my veryu angel!) and 3 marvelous children (2 boys and a girl, two of them in the highschool).

Exercies and body relaxation methods will help. However medication is not the cure. It`s a short time relief and nothing more.

I’m so sorry to read of your loss. How lucky you are to have gotten TWENTY amazing years with your dog! What a wonderfully long life! I hope you remember all the good times and the memories make you smile.

You made the correct decision for you… to leave your place of residence rather than give up your dog! Animals sure do bring us from very dark places and raise our spirits when we think there is no hope. I’m proud of your strong decision even though it was a costly one. Our animals are priceless though, aren’t they?

Perhaps one day, if you already haven’t, you will get another dog to share the kind of love that most would only be so lucky to receive. Thank you so much for writing and sharing!

All my best,

I’m so sorry to hear of the troubles you are having in your residence. I’m glad you got the urination issue solved with your cat. After reading all you have done to take responsibility for your cat, I believe you have done everything in your power to rectify the situation. I completely understand that our animals are our children and even how some people would not leave their homes under the worst of circumstances without their “children”.

I’m proud of your courage and ability to remain positive even in these difficult times. KEEP IT UP! Your heart is so sensitive and warm. Anyone invited into it is a very lucky person or animal. You will find the answers to your questions in your heart. And I bet that one of them will be not to give up your cat.

Please let me know how things turn out. My guess is that they will be in your favor.

All my best,
Dr. KC
