Start Making Sense of Self Now - Leland Johnston
Preface
My years of training, clinical practice, and teaching since graduation from medical school in 1978 continue to offer the opportunity to interact and learn with patients. These individuals are the resource and inspiration for this essay, which is not about illness but about emotional health.

Proof would require more research to substantiate what all of us can know about the sense of self through everyday experience. The following pages will provide further distinction to this perspective.

These limits include any tools created to expand the horizon of our senses, such as the electron microscope, the fMRI scanner, the Large Hadron Collider, or the James Webb Space Telescope. A
