The Trap of Being Stuck and Stupefied

Individuals often seek therapy when feeling stuck in certain aspects of their lives. Some clients identify as stubborn or persistent, struggling to change their behaviors. Interestingly, what they aim to change is often a trait they admire about themselves. This self-perception creates a cycle of being stuck and stupefied, where individuals find it challenging to envision alternatives or make rational choices. Consequently, inertia and indecision take hold, leading to a state of being existentially trapped.
