Attitudinal Healing is based on the principle that it is not other people or situations that cause us to be upset. Rather, it is our own thoughts, attitudes, and judgments about those people and situations that cause our distress. Healing results when we concentrate on changing our own attitudes rather than trying to change other people. Thus, the goal of Attitudinal Healing is inner peace through healing our own minds in the face of everyday choices, challenges and change.
