This week's episode is brought to you by our sponsor BetterHelp.

We all go through life with problems.

Living a nice, healthy life is not about solving problems until there are no more problems

that's impossible.

It's about having strategies to resolve our problems, so that we have the mental and

emotional bandwidth to deal with new problems as they come along.

A really terrible strategy for resolving our old problems is to not deal with them to

just keep rehearsing them in our heads.

We get fixated on reminding ourselves what the problem is and forget the point is defining

the problem so that we can resolve it, not just torture ourselves excessively.

One of the things a good therapist can do is help flip the dynamic around, to shake

us out of our habit of wasting so much time rehashing our problems and instead use that

time to focus on solving them.

Because mostly we don't even realize we're doing this.

Therapy works because it gives us a broader perspective to see the bigger picture and work

towards overcoming and solving and disentangling ourselves from our problems rather than just

sitting with them forever.

When you want to be a better problem solver, therapy can get you there.
