Q

Pain is there to tell us that something is wrong, not that we are wrong.

Q

How can we determine if a client is just having a “normal” reaction to a situation or if there is a developmental injury also at play?

A

If there’s trouble figuring out what to do with the distressing emotion, then it could be a developmental injury. Put another way, a sense of stuckness in a particular emotion without signs of problem-solving is a sign of developmental injury.
