The Choice to be Unhappy - Deepstash

The Choice to be Unhappy

Do you feel that a certain trauma is holding you back from feeling happy at this point of life?

The concept of causality, in which a certain cause will lead to a certain effect or action, is the school of etiology. Whereas Adlerian psyschology follows the school of teleology, in which a certain purpose or goal will lead to certain actions.

Following the concept of teleology then raises the question, "why did you choose to be unhappy?" - the choice might have been made unconsciously at any point of time - maybe due to childhood trauma.
