Maybe it's more about the circumstances/relationships that we have experienced. Perhaps there are people in our life that have power over us and changing the dynamic would cause more problems. I think a lot of mental health issues are caused by stress/financial insecurity or greed/bad family traditions (the traditions may have started to deal with bad times for our ancestors) that have been passed down for generations.....
Thanks for this!
