We humans really like to fix things, and while that’s great for bridges, businesses, and broken bones, it does not work very well with depression and anxiety.
With wild moods, trying to control them through fixing leads, ironically, to a diminished sense of control (check this in your own experience to see if it’s true). What actually works is more akin to how you might handle a wild pony: if you give it a small coral, it’s going to kick out fences, knock over troughs, bruise up trainers, etc. But if you give it enough space, a large paddock to run around in, it has only so much energy to burn and eventually becomes tame, simply through the lack of resistance.
