Symptoms
1) Loss, 2) Trauma (harm) and 3) Conflict (power-struggles) are natural
conditions of the human experience, most resulting from social interactions and interpersonal transactions (relationships) Each results in varying degrees of Anger, Guilt and Shame The resulting stress may be sudden or prolonged (tension) and is
expressed in the psychological and biochemical conditions we call anxiety and depression. Unresolved, they result in the kind of behaviors or transactional
patterns we regard as dysfunctional and call “symptoms”
