Suffering is a normal and unavoidable part of human experience. It is our attempt to control or avoid our own painful experiences that can, at times, lead us to suffering beyond what is necessary. If we can learn ways to let go of the struggle to hold onto the pain, while becoming more present in our daily lives, we get move towards the life we say we want.
Suffering is a basic fact of life for humans. Suffering is not just about pain, psychological or otherwise. We don’t just have only pain; We agonize over their painful memories, uncomfortable emotions, and difficult self-evaluations. At times, we worry about them, we dread them, and we engage in all kinds of activities to avoid them.
Therapy is about the problem of human suffering. It’s about reaching beyond suffering to get back to really living. Where you can find yourself asking “What do I really want my life to be about?” or “If I lived in a world where I could have my life be about anything I wanted, what would that be?"
