Ask HN: Have you ever had a mental block and don't know what it is?

1 points by fadzlan ↗ HN
How do you deal with mental blocks when you don't know what it is? I am a guy that learns the social norm by reading books and watching people, so it takes time for me to understand what is going on emotionally even within myself.

I suppose when you find whatever your mental block is, then you can have a plan to deal with it.

Would unravelling something like this possible by our own self? After all, its possible that we tend to smart ourselves and having coach can help the situation better.

I coach lots of people. My experience is most problems are unexperienced emotion (simplified). Try to see what you aren't willing to feel in your body. In our culture men in particular aren't taught to value their interior experience, and it leads to all sorts of issues.
