Mental suffering tends to narrow our focus and evoke profound isolation, even in the presence of others.
Relational hardship can betray the promise of deep friendship in a relationship, and trigger profound loneliness.
Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can get in the way of moving toward what is meaningful to us.
Many of our present-day issues are influenced by the residual effects of past experiences that intensify our suffering.
Our beautiful brains can exile our wounded parts, leaving us fragmented, and even unrecognizable to ourselves. We can get lost.
We are hardwired to move toward feeling better, often at the expense of getting better. Both are possible.
