Experiencing anxiety, depression, or trauma can leave you feeling like something is permanently wrong with you. When challenges like low self-concept, anger, or substance usage arise, it is easy to see them as personal flaws. My approach is entirely different. I do not look at what is wrong with you; I look at what is going on with you.
