People choose to pursue therapy when challenges begin to impact their ability to think, feel and behave in ways that are helpful, productive and satisfying. Challenges emerge as part of a script, a story we tell ourselves about what is true about our identity, strengths/weaknesses, relationships, and our place in the world. Common symptoms of anxiety and depression, for example, are not "problems" as much as they are a result of frustrated attempts to manage challenges. One of the goals of therapy is to rewrite that script, and create a new story of ourselves with tools to pursue a life of purpose and meaning.
