Is that good or bad, who knows? But combine that role specialization with the fact that humans have narrative bias, confirmation bias, aversion to admitting sunk costs. So they are inclined to justify time and expense of their own therapy.

For example I had a sweet moment connecting with a new acquaintance that I ATTRIBUTE to my having had therapy (e.g.,learning about being vulnerable). So I'd be one of those people in a survey saying therapy helped me. But is it TRUE??
Good post, now I want to learn about rise of guilds and trads in Middle Ages, hah, I like history of things (in theory, I rarely read history lol), it helps me put new things in perspective.
Thanks for this!
