A hard-working man sees a sale sign in the window of an expensive men’s clothing shop. He needs a new suit but wonders if he can begin to afford one from such a store. He takes a breath and plunges in.
The salesman does a quick and disdainful appraisal of the customer. He brings out the most elegant suit in his size the man has ever seen. The man is stunned by the price, but the salesman assures him the sale is 50% off. The only condition is there is no tailoring available for sale items.
The man gasps in delight at the first sight of himself in the mirror. But his heart sinks as he notices the left sleeve seems a little short. The salesman yanks on the sleeve and advises the man just to shift and tilt his right shoulder in such a way so that the cuff will meet the wrist at the end of his left arm. The man does and it works, though pain suddenly shoots across his shoulders.
“What about the right leg?” the man sadly notes. “That is not even, either. You can see my sock.”
The salesman scoffs at such a tiny issue. “Look, it is not that much space.” Shift your left hip and twist and tilt just a bit. “There. Now it fits perfectly.”
The man does appreciate his image in the mirror, though the pain building in both his upper and lower back is beginning to oppress him.
“You look like a million,” the now respectful salesman declares. “Where will you find another such bargain?”
The man hands over his credit card for the transaction and is encouraged by the salesman to wear the expensive suit out of the store and begin to enjoy his new image.
The man exits the shop, remembering to keep right shoulder and left hip at the required positions, assuring himself the pain barking from his body will eventually abate.
Two women walking some distance behind him on the sidewalk notice him lumbering up the block.
The first woman observes, “Look at that poor, disabled man struggling up the street.”
The second woman exclaims, “Yes, but doesn’t that suit fit him beautifully!”

From the book Healing ADD by Thom Hartmann:
There’s a perhaps-apocryphal story commonly told among therapists about the famous psychotherapist Judith Fromm-Reichmann. She had a client, a young woman, who came to her a bundle of nerves and fears. This young woman was certain she would soon be the victim of a terrible disaster, that the government had been taken over by madmen, and that her life was in danger; she was socially paralyzed by her anxiety and afraid to leave her house. Fromm-Reichmann spent three years with this woman, helping her resolve her fears and adjust to the society in which she lived. Finally, she was pronounced cured and discharged from therapy. Two weeks later this young Jewish woman was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to a death camp. Shortly thereafter, Fromm-Reichmann herself escaped Nazi Germany.

''My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities.''
