YES-OR-NO PHENOMENON

Undue deliberation and indecision suggest the will is asleep.  The Yes-or-No Phenomenon is a wake-up method for getting on with one’s life and not allowing extraneous thoughts to rent space in the mind.  This modality created by Gerald N. Epstein, MD, is the approach of choice when I am working with someone who has difficulty making decisions or has any form of obsessional thinking.  People who are indecisive tend to think in terms of yes-AND-no, rather than yes-OR-no, so learning this method can relieve a great deal of turmoil, exhaustion, and feelings of being overwhelmed in matters of everyday life.  This is the way to turn doubt to faith, and uncertainly to clarity of decision.
