I think even with colorful, interesting life stories, there's still some generic issues? At least, my T seems to have conveyed that's how she gets to the root issues under the chaotic life stories. She says many humans have certain fundamental desires like wanting to have self worth or a sense of belonging (for example, I vaguely remember she said more.)
