MMY was right on- I had similar insights but managed to act sane throughout the ensuing imbalanced period. My experience has been that it is only when perfect integration occurs that such cognitions can be dealt with in a way that is balanced and not disruptive. What this guy needed was definitely a lot more worldly experience; "carry water, chop wood". He wouldn't have screwed up so badly if that had been the case. Hopefully he doesn't continue to blame the one person who was trying to stabilize him for his troubles.
