Listen "Why Focusing on Symptoms Can Make It Harder to Solve the Problem EP 208"
Episode Synopsis
On this podcast episode, we explore common statements like, "I can't pursue my dreams because of my mental health" or "I can't overcome addiction because of my circumstances." We delve into the root cause of these issues, which is often linked to how we handle our emotions when faced with stress, fear, sadness, and grief.
Mental health struggles, addiction, dysfunctional relationships, and workplace stress are often symptoms of deeper emotional issues related to how we perceive ourselves and behave. Anxiety is often driven by a deep-rooted fear of the uncertain future, while regret and shame stem from feeling a lack of control over the past. Addictions can be coping mechanisms for underlying fears and uncertainties. Focusing on the symptoms can make it harder to solve the problem long-term.
To overcome these issues, we recommend seeking help from a coach, counselor, therapist, or attending peer-led support groups regularly over an extended period. It takes time to see if a solution works, and it's normal to feel uncomfortable or egotistical when starting something new and productive. However, with practice, it can become easier and something to look forward to.
