I hope so. It seems like people get their pet theory and make everything fit that theory. Mental health professionals in particular seem to project very simplistic answers. I sometimes wonder if it's because they work with people who are in such a huge amount of distress. In order to calm the distress they feel the need to send a powerful message: I'm an expert. I know what's wrong here, and I know what to do about it. Everything is going to be okay.
Sometimes my son wants to hear those words: Everything is going to be fine. But how can I make such a promise? I don't know if everything is going to be fine or not.
