As far as I can tell from my 15 years of doing therapy with folks, most of our anxiety, grief, depression…most of our suffering…is rooted in developmental trauma which ends up affecting our sense of self. We carry a fundamental sense of mistaken identity involving inadequacy or superiority, expectations of ourselves and others, loss, and painful unmet needs.
It is important for us to understand how past experiences influence our current sense of self and how we have become attached to self protective patterns. Good therapy can provide insights that help us understand why we feel the way we do, how to deal with that, and who we are amidst it all.
Life is not meant to be something we fight through. Life is essentially effortless. Our resistances are swirling eddies that form in the river of life and make it feel like a struggle. Our task is to learn how recognize, feel, and let go of our resistance little by little. The true Self requires no modifications and resides just behind all of the struggle.
