    Everyone feels like this. A therapist isn’t going to tell you things about yourself you didn’t know.

    Think of it like a personal trainer. We all know that exercising regularly will help maintain good health, but few people actually do it. A PT can help you develop a regime which is achievable and targeted to your goals.

      It’s turtles all the way down. Someone gets a great routine from a PT, does it for six days, and never again.

      How do you give someone an internal locus of control?

      I really don’t think “everyone” understands their life and internal psychology that much.

        I guess I genuinely don’t know.

        There’s certainly people in my life that just don’t seem to have any self awareness at all.

        I guess I always just thought that those people probably have some awareness but they just never acknowledge it.
