False hope Quote by Marc De Hert
““All these forms of help and support ultimately lead to greater structure in your life, some kind of anchoring, i.e. something reliable to hold on to when you are confused. They open the way to recovery and help free up your potential. That can bring peace of mind but also feelings of sadness. You start to realize that you have been through a major ordeal and that it has marked you. But genuine sadness is better than bizarre delusions or false hope.””
