How we define emotional problems is critical to success. By defining them as the result of a lack of knowledge, understanding or skill we create a path to success because it is all ways possible to learn something new. With a nearly limitless variety of treatment options it is only necessary to find what works best for each individual. Short term solution focused and cognitive behavioral techniques are often the answer.
