I think you’re right. A lot of mental health professionals pour scorn on self-help, but also paradoxically acknowledge the power of just talking to a friend and unravelling problems in your mind. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for therapy and professional treatment, but humans are multifaceted creatures and so, it stands, should be our solutions. I dunno. Perhaps that’s just a nice sound bite. Argh. The doubt never ends!
