I just want to add that in my experience it much more challenging to sell someone to themselves than it is to sell yourself because you can sell yourself out. And I have to admit I have done both. And I also have a lot of experience with others that sell me short too. So many times it is not all that hard for me to say, me too. Ah, the "INHUMANITY OF HUMANITY".

It can be hard to find a good therapist. Many know the ailments of different disorders, yes.
But a really good therapist has to be capable of not only knowing about different disorders and the difficulties those disorders present to their patients. But a therapist has to also be a good salesman in a way, because he has to help someone learn how to take whatever it is they are and still "BUY INTO THEMSELVES AND HAVE FAITH IN THEMSELVES". And that can be challenging and really requires a lot of patience and a real desire on the part of the therapist.
And it can't just be a general marketing theme, because if it was easy there would not be so many books about different ideas on how to self improve.
