Understanding Personal Problems Understanding Personal Problems Problems, problems. Everybody has problems. While Jung meant his statement to be taken humorously, some people indeed think that there is some point in life where, if they do everything right, life will be without problems. We don't think so.
Some problems are a normal and natural part of being alive.
Here at Counseling Services, however, we encourage you to start looking at your problems from a different angle. There are many different kinds of problems. Problems with grades, with our girlfriend or boyfriend, with our parents, with our smoking, drinking, money management, our weight or fitness level are all practical problems. Practical problems, like being overweight, usually have fairly straightforward and non-mysterious solutions if we look at them in a straightforward fashion. Then diet enough and exercise enough.
