This viewpoint sees that your difficulties spring from adjustments that you have made ‘creatively’ in your life, often as a way of survival or as a way to keep your relationships safe.

A central goal is to help you become a ‘human being’ rather than a ‘human doing’, challenging all the rules that you carry around in your mind about how you should do things. The effort of trying to obey these rules can lead to guilt, stress and exhaustion.

I would gently assist you in becoming aware of the unwritten rules you carry around, and in thinking about how you could let some of them go to free up energy and increase your choices.
