About

Despite all of your efforts to make changes in your life, you may still find yourself unhappy and discouraged. One reason for this might be that you have developed ways, over a long period of time or perhaps even more recently, to protect yourself from uncomfortable feelings, threats to your self-esteem and self-worth, or your emotional pain. While these adaptive strategies may provide you temporary relief from your suffering, they ironically also prevent you from changing your life. Not directly facing yourself may feel better in the moment, but it simply postpones the work required to really change yourself and your life.
