February, 1935: The Real Self

Anais Nin continues to analyze patients who come to her lost, confused, and blind. They cry and become emotionally intimate, and the real self is born as anger, false attitudes, and hatred vanish. Anais believes this cathartic process is the cure for anger and hatred.

I have seen this in myself and in others; as a person is humbled, he/she becomes real and at peace and sees the world with a fresh perspective. It happens every time I get physically sick and hit bottom and then start the recovery process with an overwhelming feeling of gratitude towards life and others.

What are other ways we can rid ourselves of anger and hatred and uncover our real self?
