What is the root cause of an issue?
Short answer: The root cause of an issue is the core of that issue. Often the root cause is a childhood belief that, as children, we understand to be very important to our family/society/religion/etc. Our attachment to this belief roots the issue and its associated behavioural and thought patterns deep in our unconscious becoming our ‘default’ way of thinking, feeling, behaving, being in the world. Such issues and their root causes often have influence over our behaviour and thought patterns well into adulthood despite the fact that, as adults, those patterns no longer serve our highest interests.
