Pulling Back the Future: A Therapist Finding His Way

This collection of honest and moving essays tells the story of the author’s journey into himself as he learned to open his mind to see life as it really is while simultaneously seeking to live with equanimity. As a psychotherapist, Peter Azrak now asks those he works with to engage in this same process, one requiring patience, practice, and fortitude. The issues discussed and the events recounted in these stories will sound familiar to all: facing doubt, struggling with shame, balancing expectations, and feeling the abrasive friction that often comes with relationships. As readers reflect on their own journeys against the backdrop of Azrak’s stories, they learn the keys to a life intended to be lived in the presence of the Divine: humility, gratitude, and unconditional love.
