THE FUSE

People go to therapy looking for answers. Our more obsessive patients, preoccupied with their investments, want to make sure they’re getting a good deal. They spend most of their time fixated on their decisions. “Did I choose the right person to marry?” “Do I really hate my job?” “Can I do better?” While the questions appear to be simple, their answers, unfortunately, aren’t as evident. But people tend to repeat the same mistake: They seek out clear and objective conclusions. So, they may present a dataset to a therapist and ask, “Is this a good or a bad decision?”
