Numerous challenges lead individuals to seek therapy and coaching. Most people aim for increased happiness, confidence, and reduced anger. However, prior to making substantial changes, the “why” questions often take precedence. These might include:
Why do I feel anger towards strangers, or why do I put off essential tasks, or why do I dread the disintegration of good moments?
Regrettably, these questions often elude a straightforward answer, even after extensive periods of reflection and exploration. How can we confirm we’ve pinpointed the true cause of our anger, procrastination, or anxieties?
Additionally, related “why” inquiries arise concerning the actions of others. We may find ourselves questioning why our partner betrayed us, why our child has issues with alcohol, or perhaps even why [insert your query here].
The reality is, there’s little certainty surrounding our motivations. For various reasons, we struggle to answer the “why” questions about ourselves (e.g., Why did I think attending law school was a wise decision when I’m feeling unfulfilled two years in?) let alone about others.
You might wonder, why is that? (chuckles)
Take a moment to think about how you might react to a question about your experiences today, how that response differs from one or two years ago, and how you might respond two years in the future.
