Litany of Gendlin

Edited by Gyrodiot, Grognor, bjr, et al. last updated 18th Mar 2021

The Litany of Gendlin:

What is true is already so.
Owning up to it doesn't make it worse.
Not being open about it doesn't make it go away.
And because it's true, it is what is there to be interacted with.
Anything untrue isn't there to be lived.
People can stand what is true,
for they are already enduring it.

—Eugene Gendlin
