What do you think is the most frequent complaint when people seek therapy? In my experience, it is a variant of “I feel bad, and I want to feel better.”
The specific emotions that need to change vary from person to person. Sometimes it’s about getting rid of anxiety or sadness. Other times, it’s about changing shame, anger, or numbness. Whatever the emotion, it needs to go.
