If you only focus on what’s negative in your life you miss the fact that your symptoms, pain, and conflict contain meaningful messages. These messages manifest as problems because they’re blocked from your awareness. They aren’t intrinsically negative but are rather symptomatic expressions of your deeper self trying to come to consciousness.

When your mind can’t accept, is afraid of, isn’t ready yet, or is simply unaware of how you need to change and grow, it forces the basic emotion driving your growth to mutate. Instead of experiencing power, creativity, playfulness or whatever's trying to emerge into your consciousness, this raw, unprocessed emotion manifests as a disturbance, a problem, a “symptom.” The basic process fueling your issue is right, but it manifests in a negative way.

Conventional mental health practice misses the mark by just trying to suppress this disturbing manifestation of your process. Doing so, throws out the baby with the bathwater. Instead, you must learn how to reverse the mutation by uncovering the hidden emotion driving your distress. This leads to liberation and expansion—the true purpose of your issue.

Just trying to get rid of your pain kills your growth. Your problem is your crucible! Don’t dismiss it or just suppress it; keep working on it to connect with its hidden, transformative meaning. Get fixated on your deeper process, not on its momentary negative manifestation. Doing so, helps transform depression, anxiety, trauma, etc. into healing, personal growth, wisdom, and wellbeing.
