Therapy

Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.

Sigmund Freud

Just about everybody has at least one emotional hang up or mental issue that blocks them from being as happy as they want to be or from living in peace. Often, it’s something they don’t like about themselves. Perhaps they have problems maintaining friendships or close relationships, they feel sad most of the time, they blow up in anger without meaning to, or they believe their feet are too wide—the list of things we humans find not..

Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.

Sigmund Freud

Just about everybody has at least one emotional hang up or mental issue that blocks them from being as happy as they want to be or from living in peace. Often, it’s something they don’t like about themselves. Perhaps they have problems maintaining friendships or close relationships, they feel sad most of the time, they blow up in anger without meaning to, or they believe their feet are too wide—the list of things we humans find not to like about ourselves is endless. Other reasons we are not happy include habitual behaviors that don’t serve us but we’re not sure how to stop, or we respond to situations from a triggered perspective and want to control that tendency. Again, the reasons for being unhappy and not being able to live in peace are too numerous to list here. But one answer to fix them can be summed up in a single word: therapy.

There are a multitude of different ways that therapists work and numerous philosophies they can abide by. But for each the goal is the same: to help you figure out what it is that you need in order to have more satisfaction, more joy, and more peace in your life. Therapy isn’t something that tells you how to think or what to do. Therapy is something that helps you determine what you’re thinking and doing that is causing you problems. You learn about you in your therapy sessions.

The tools in this chapter are all about getting the best results from those sessions. Whether it’s one-on-one therapy with just you and your therapist or in group settings, there are numerous ways you can optimize your sessions. But you have to begin going to therapy, which is the first tool in this chapter.
