Human problems develop when one cannot make meaning out of the circumstances of life. Feelings of hopelessness and unproductivity may leave a person feeling stagnant or living in a state of disconnect from oneself or others. Influences of the past can interrupt human happiness. Additionally, so can worrying about what we cannot control. Sometimes this leads us to be out of touch with our true selves. Often our motivations are unconscious as we are unaware that experiences are creating discomfort in our thought processing. Humans want to be their best selves, and live authentically.
