What Most SHRiNKS Can't Tell You
...Some people get locked into depression, anger, shyness, work, alcohol, drugs, promiscuity, homosexuality, self-harm, eating disorders, joining street gangs, etc. in order to "cope" with pain. Many of us struggle with, or experiment with some of these at some point in our lives. It's only when they become our "safe zone" or a relational style, that there is a deeper root that needs dealing with.
