It\u2019s quite a well-known view that they all present with some form of diagnosable mental illness: Pooh (ADD), Tigger (ADHD), Rabbit (OCD), Roo (Autism), Eeyore (Depression), Piglet (Anxiety) and Christopher Robin (Schizophrenia). This anthropomorphic cast and their stories are a brilliant allegory of real life and also a great learning tool for anyone with social awkwardness or anxieties. The characters interact with each other naturally and are ready to listen and to learn. As a collective example of honesty, openness and willingness to change, they take some beating. They also demonstrate how a therapeutic community heal its members through power of example and unconditional positive regard. Can I learn from the example of others? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-2edf8450be1b2d95ca9d947f0ac51eac\"><strong>Promise me you\u2019ll always remember you\u2019re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem and smarter than you think. A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh. That is quite a good description of the Serenity Prayer\u2019s message.
