Obedience and Revolt: The mysterious roots of half a life

It’s only seven o’clock in the evening, and already it’s very dark outside, on this cold and miserable third day of January, 1970.  It’s time for me to go. To go away again.  Alone.  Back to England.  Moving on.  Into another black night.

Anger management counselling and psychotherapy

Inappropriate anger is the negative form, which manifests in uncontrolled aggression – exceeding the needs of the moment – resulting in an overly-aggressive or other-threatening response.

Inappropriate anger tends to make enemies, unnecessarily, and to fan the flames of small conflicts. Inappropriate anger makes matters worse, and not better!

Obedience and Revolt: The mysterious roots of half a life

Book Description 

Daniel O’Beeve’s parents crush his spirit, through their demand for total obedience, enforced by physical violence, both actual and in the form of threats.  His mother hates him because of the pain he caused her during a long, difficult birth.  He knows nothing of love or affection; he has no friends; he is bullied and frightened by his teachers and his school peers.  He is miserably unhappy and isolated most of the time.  But Daniel has a secret desire to have a better life – to find love, to find ‘his princess’, and to live in freedom and happiness.  He studies judo with Japanese teachers, and he tries to make sense of love and sex and passion, through various experimental relationships.  At the age of eighteen years, he revolts, against his work, his culture and his family, and he migrates to England, alone – a permanent outsider - with a grossly inadequate map of the social and emotional world…

Counselling and therapy for depression

Depression is a painful, discouraging and draining condition.  Life looks bleak and dull, and bad feelings seem to fill our bodies as well as our minds.  Sometimes individuals become depressed because they get stuck in the grieving process.  That is to say, they lose something or someone significant to them, and thus they need to engage in appropriate sadness.  But they push the sadness away, and get stuck with long term depression instead of short term sadness.  The trick with grief is to feel the sense of loss keenly, and thus to complete it.

Couples therapy and Marriage guidance in Hebden Bridge

"Successful relationships are based on agreed on goals", according to Werner Erhard.  That does not mean that my partner must agree to my goals, or vice versa.  Instead it means, I support my partner in pursuing her goals; and she supports me in pursuing mine. (Notice there are no “sergeant majors” in this statement; no “directors”; no “leaders” and “led”!) - Dr Jim Byrne, April 2015

Obedience and Revolt: The mysterious roots of half a life

My story might never have been told, except that Professor Valises fell asleep on the long, winter night-shift, and his PA, Loola Kalata, took advantage of her new found freedom to direct the Intergalactic Federation’s steerable wormhole machine to a region of space once considered to be solely occupied by a few uninteresting asteroids.  Instead of re-finding well known asteroid belts, she discovered a new blue-green planet which clearly was occupied by living beings.

New Foreword – by Daniel O’Beeve

In the beginning, this story had nothing to do with me.  In the beginning, I did not even exist!

My story might never have been told, except that Professor Valises fell asleep on the long, winter night-shift, and his PA, Loola Kalata, took advantage of her new found freedom to direct the Intergalactic Federation’s steerable wormhole machine to a region of space once considered to be solely occupied by a few uninteresting asteroids.  Instead of re-finding well known asteroid belts, she discovered a new blue-green planet which clearly was occupied by living beings. 

This planet was first listed as Planet 3EX771, and later renamed to the label used by the inhabitants: Earth!

Obedience and Revolt: The mysterious roots of half a life

This is what Daniel writes on the back cover: 

"I am too young to be wise, and too old to be directed by others.  So I wander aimlessly through a meaningless, chaotic life."
