Do you have to know where the symptoms come from in order to address them?

I'm not trying to be cute or snide or anything. I absolutely understand how upsetting it can be to have symptoms/difficulties without an apparent cause. I also understand the desire to know what happened in the past.

But I still wonder if the "why" is necessary. And, if so - why? I have not personally found that knowing the origin of something makes the solution any different. But of course my experience isn't everyone's.

I do hope you find what you're looking for.
