My face has been miserable the last few days. Apparently I have sensitive skin and does not react well to placing acne specific wash or lotion on my pores. Now I have a horrible reaction of extremely dry skin.
This is often true within any system, ecosystem, family system, church system, or the various system one may work. We will place a quick fix on the surface to an underlying problem. We need to go directly to the root of the problem, but we do not go to the root of the problem because that is what keeps the system in a balance or homeostasis. If we choose not to address the problem we are choosing not to make progress within the system.
Example:
A family may come to counseling for their daughters sexual behavior. If a therapist could spend time with the family there often would be another cause to her behavior within the system. Instead of addressing the real problem (addiction, abuse, depression etc) we keep the system in balance by focusing on the identified patient.
Are you having problems with your skin? Address the problem not the surface issue.
