His low self-esteem and low confidence level told him he would never have the things that other people had. He engaged in negative thinking. He felt he would never marry, have children, have a successful career or even something as simple as having his own apartment. Being "Graced" with the knowledge that there was really nothing wrong with him, he worked on basically "taking his mind apart," and examining all of his thoughts to see which of his thoughts were not valid, so he could replace them with positive thoughts" that would work for him and not against him.
