Helping our patients change their life rules for workability but maintain their values for inner harmony

I often see folks with extreme rigid rules in their lives. There’s a lot of “should and must” in beliefs and style of thinking. This can unfortunately create a lot of stress and frustration in their lives. 

What we can do once we have validated their experiences, is to get them to step back and recognize what are the underlying values that are driving these rules.

The challenge for them is to change those rules to make it more realistic and workable, but still maintain their values for inner harmony.

I wonder if you know what I mean.
