And you are oh so sure of yourself! You think it all just makes such good sense! It must be so! Seems so simple. Everyone can just do it, or they're just lazy or cop outs! It's surely that simple. And guaranteed!

But you have provided no sources and now you are getting personal. Do you even have a degree in psychology? You are an accountant, a baker, a teacher, so surely a psychologist as well. You also claim to live in countries you do not, live in towns you do not, etc. So I can see you are trying to get to grips with something or other.

You made a blanket statement and questioned it. I have not claimed to be an expert, but I have cited an expert who has said exactly that. That one of the most difficult issues in mental health is something that can be helped in the vast majority of cases. Now have I been involved in those cases? No, of course not.

The idea that because I am not as old as you means I cannot know as much on certain topics is childish. There are things we can all learn from people younger or older than ourselves. Lao Tzu is someone you could listen to then as post an awful lot. I don't think you will get very far not talking though. I guess Jordan Peterson will have to just make eye contact and not move his lips.
