ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with common life issues that often cause intense stress, fear, anger, perseverative thinking, overwhelming sadness, impulsivity, and confusion. Sometimes clients are already aware that a pending or recent divorce, demanding and dissatisfying job, or feeling of spiritual disconnection from life around them is the source of their discomfort. Sometimes they are not. Sometimes the underlying problem is blatantly obvious to the therapist, even if the client is not yet aware of it. Sometimes it is not.
