I am not quite certain about the people are not like books thing is. Reading books is how I understand or learn about most things. Therapy books make no sense to me and seem only to be a bunch of smug condescending jerks who talk about their insights or "interventions" and how the good patients love them and the bad ones are resistant. I understand books on quantum physics easier than therapy. Sometimes, therapists are just simply wrong and sometimes they simply need to explain and explain again.
