The problem with a lot of therapy or self-help…
…is that it focuses on people as the problem. It says you need to fix you or something you do (time management, attention, anger, conflict, anxiety, depression). The trouble with this method is that once the “problem” is gone, a new one seems like take its place - or maybe the old issue comes back 6 months later.
This is because the issue actually lies deep within. No, you are not a hopelessly broken human. We are all constantly bombarded with pushes and pulls of the world and sometimes incongruent messages take root. This pulls us off our true path and leads us to spend energy in ways that don’t serve us. These shifts are so small that you one day you can look up and realize you have no idea where your path is or how to get back there.
