LOVE: It's All in Your Head This article on Mindful Loving and Henry Grayson b
In his heretical book, Mindful Loving, Henry Grayson, an eminent New York psychologist, relates a story that perfectly captures his mind-altering theory of love. A despondent patient had come to Grayson's office, complaining about being married to "the world's biggest shrew." As patients frequently do, Jon seemed to want commiseration from his loyal shrink.
Grayson isn't that kind of doctor. "What are you willing to do?" asked the therapist, turning the tables back on Jon.
"Anything," he replied. Grayson's instructions were oddly simple: The next time Jon became anxious over his wife's behavior, he was to focus on his own upsetting thoughts, replacing the inner wife-hating voice--She's ruining my life!--with a tender memory of the woman he'd once loved. At first Jon couldn't recall such a woman; finally, a happy moment oozed up from the distant past. He promised Grayson he'd give it a try.
Jon was confused at his next appointment. He told Grayson his wife seemed more subdued somehow. "She must be coming down with a bug," Jon said.
"Try the experiment again," Grayson suggested.
