As Gail Brenner, a clinical psychologist and writer, the inner war is intensified by constant resistance: we refuse to experience our own feelings, refuse to let others do what they're doing, we don't want events to unfold according to their own logic. Resistance forces us to change our personal history so that our plans finally come to fruition. She believes that inner peace is the only thing we have access to, because everything else is definitely out of our control.
