Or maybe it doesn’t, because this is free 😳
I have a family member who has had a million therapists and life coaches, and who treats everyone he meets as a potential therapist (literally). The more he asks for advice and input, the more helpless he becomes. And there is no shortage of people eager to give their pretentious sermons about what he should do with his life or what things mean. Dysfunction on both sides. This constant therapizing is considered some sort of path to autonomy, but it has made him a cripple. Seems common. And I doubt many people are urging him to trust his own insight, because the culture operates on the therapy model.
