"professional" get their certificates by only being able to PARROT what they are told to read and believe. Since most "professionals" are not even close to being able to think outside the box (dogma) or they will lose their license, it seems to me that the advice they parrot out is nothing but information that would only help those who need to be sheep herded.
If we are "unique individuals" then shouldnt we seek advice or help from those who also think differently from the status quo?
Because so far, by observation of society today and all the supposed "experts" out there to help you, professionals haven't helped out one bit.
(and im refering to to the overall big picture, not about the relatively small amount of individuals who learned a little from supposed professionals and quickly moved past that and on to more understanding)

You have a valid question. There is very little help in this world if you look at the depth at which it is really needed. lots of people derail or need help in some way, but very very rarely do you hear anything about truly recovering. I think we could set way higher standards as to what is possible to achieve in mental and emotional health. We know way too little about what makes and keeps people truly happy and also we know too little about how to help if things go wrong. we just need to look at the entire world and see all the conflicts and realize we could all do with some help. but the only help that will be truly "professional" is when we, the entire world, pull together to achieve a mutual goal. and that may be anything from being careful with our water to sociological developement or whatever else we come up with... wouldnt that be wonderful... if we really really pulled together on a goal that would offend no one.... :)

For minor problems, you don't need professional help. You need a friend who has the same skills as the professionals who do their job well.
For major problems, friends won't help as much as professionals.
It's true that professionals (i.e., psychotherapists) often do what any ordinary person would do: listen respectfully, discuss goals with you, assign homework, follow-up on you to make sure you did your goal-based homework. But how many friends do you know who will actually do ALL of that? Usually the friends drop out after the "listen respecfully" part.

I mostly agree with what you said. I often question the role of psychology and how helpful it really is. But I don't agree with you that most professionals don't think outside the box. After all they are human too...with their own experiences. And their therapy cannot be unaffected by it.
