> we tend to use our strengths to try to solve our problems even when another part of us would be more helpful in solving them

This resonates.

I once worked with a coach who helped me realize this. It was the proverbial breakthrough moment. Many people probably could benefit from a similar realization.

Yes. I think it is very helpful to try to develop your weaker sides, in order to become a more balanced person. For me, partner dancing has been fruitful in developing my emotional and moving parts.

And, if you need to process some traumatic experiences -- and practically all of us probably could benefit from such work -- if psychoanalytic psychotherapy does not work for you -- I would suggest trying other kinds of therapy that works more through our emotional or somatic parts.

Meditation for me, hence my username.
