Sometimes our unhappiness and problems with life is caused by our personality. The way we ‘normally’ do life is an expression of our personality. Personality issues often only come to light after a long time. The reason for this is that most people don’t notice their personality. We are so used to it that we are not aware of it.

Psychological coaching or therapy can make us more aware of our personality. Personality can be the issue that needs to be addressed if the habitual and ‘normal’ way of dealing with life is seriously maladaptive. Jane for instance habitually avoided conflicts at all cost. This meant that she never stood up for herself and as a consequence many people too advantage of her. In the end Jane became very depressed. This is just one example how a personality style can lead to emotional problems.
