More Euphonic Phrases

 I just felt in the mood to write some writing I deem euphonic:

--"a corrective emotional experience"

--"human, all too human"

--"Therapist disclosure begets patient disclosure."

--"displayed in living color in the here-and-now"

--"want to slough off their facades and become intimate"

--"there swirls considerable controversy"

--"whose courage has left me gaping in admiration"

--"The fear of death always percolates beneath the surface."

--"a last-second reprieve from a firing squad"

--Heidegger say death is "the impossibility of further possibility."

"Burridan's ass, which starved to death between two equally sweet-smelling bales of hay."

I took all these phrases from Irvin Yalom's excellent book, The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients.
