#41: How to Amplify a Problem to Discover Its Message


Listen Later

Despite the fact that there’s never been a scientific study showing that mental distress is an “illness,” psychiatry employs the disease model used in physical medicine. This is why psychiatric treatment’s main focus is on suppressing symptoms. However, this approach misses the whole point of having a life problem. Distress / dysfunction aren’t “diseases”; they’re potent messages of personal change and growth trying to come forth.

In order to discover and act upon this message, you must strategically amplify, not reduce, your symptoms. This brings the contents of your process to consciousness so you can connect with the changes trying to come forth, transform your issue, and change your life for the better.

Therefore, whether you’re depressed, anxious, can’t concentrate, suffer from trauma, have relationship problems, or any other issue, you must learn how to identify your problem’s core elements, and amplify and process them. This will lead to healing, inner strength, wisdom, and well being. Today’s episode guides you through an exercise for doing this.
