Why must we keep generalizing the same issue? While it is important, it just isn't the case that it works that way for everyone.

Also, I'm not sure who added the part on the bottom of the post about giving advice, but the # 1 rule of being a therapist is-- don't give advice. That is NOT the role of at therapist.

You can suffer from from major psychological issues and still guide your patients on a journey towards reaching insight and awareness.

As a therapist, I find it to be natural that I have deep insight and awareness into my psycholgoical problems--- that seems obvious to me since I have studied in the field and been , and continue, to go to therapy.
