These obstacles are commonly, but not totally, internal concerning inputs to our thinking, emotions and our perception of them. They negatively influence us causing, misperception and “wrong thinking” (erroneous thinking and concepts) detrimental to our health, happiness and performance. This can be addressed in follow-up sessions.
