“Your life is perfect exactly the way it is.” Imagine offering this to someone whose child was just killed in a terrorist attack. “You already have everything you need.” Tell this to someone facing a serious illness or going through a divorce. “Only you can make yourself happy or unhappy.” Huh?
Lisa, a client of mine, was in a bad relationship when she came to see me. Almost immediately after telling me about the situation, she explained that she knew she already had everything she needed to be happy. So, she was here to work on herself, since if she was unhappy and unsatisfied with her partner, she had only herself to blame.
