“Sometimes, people have experiences that leave a negative impression. It is often the meaning that the mind has attached to an experience that continues to have a troubling influence. Our human minds automatically attach meaning to things based on prior experiences. People don’t choose meanings. What something means is never the person’s fault, but psychotherapists offer blaming interpretations by saying things like, “You need to stop carrying that.”
