Read about “D” who was a workaholic whose physical symptoms were a result of her soul’s unhappiness with life. This is a fascinating case showing many stages of transformation, challenges, resolutions and metamorphosis of the soul toward a new vision and identity. “Autism” gives an impression of those who lock themselves in their own world.

This archetypal character study of Mr. Rogers was written by FES-certified practitioner Linda Beal Klein. As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us is, that each of us has something that no one else has—or ever will have—something inside of us that is unique to all time. It’s our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression. —Fred Rogers |
