We Have Funny Attitudes toward Self-care & Normal Character Development

     We resent hearing about worst-case scenarios: divorce, burnout, suicide, yet have no desire to listen to, or especially practice, preventive measures. Regarding our personal health, we throw rational scientific thinking out the window and fly by the seat of our pants. We hope to be lucky, ignoring most of the wellness advice we give our patients.
     At any given stage of our psychosocial development, we tend to think it won't get any better. Most of us have little knowledge of developmental psychology, and thus make little or no concerted effort to progress as far as possible along a life-long trajectory.
