When people experience mental illness, trauma, loss, or profound emotional suffering, one question often comes to the forefront:
Why me?
Why did this happen to me?
Why did I have to suffer?
In my experience as a psychotherapist for over two decades, I have found that a subtle, yet powerful psychological shift can sometimes take place when we gently invite the person to ask: “Well… why not me?”
Let me be clear: this does not mean accepting suffering passively, blaming oneself, or surrendering to fate. It means recognizing a deeper truth: that suffering is an inherent part of the human experience.
When we begin to move from “Why is this happening to me?” toward “This too is a part of being human. How can I face it and grow through it?”, our relationship with suffering begins to change. — Pulkit Sharma, Clinical Psychologist, Psychoanalytic Therapist, Spiritual Counsellor & Author
