But it also helps develop healthy communication and thinking that will also improve the friend group. So, in or out of a friend group, the things covered still are helpful. But yes, definitely less needed than just getting a friend group for minor issues.

Yeah sorry for missing that. But... a lot of conventional therapy is about developing support systems. (1)

True... but the issue is that they don't exist for most people. But even with a friend group, there are situations that they are unable to help someone through. Either way psychology is important.

If you think friends will back away in that case... then how do they know? They aren't trained to understand when the avoidance is harmful or not, and they aren't in a position to figure it out. There is so much to psychology that isn't clear, even for the people close to someone. Sometimes they...

I wish that friend groups that could support each other this were all around. But they aren't... and depending on the problem friends might be wrong to try and interact with the person. There are many different situations where trying to talk it out is going to cause them more harm. (2)

@SirContro The very issue is that so few people ever will find a strong support system that can really help them. The biggest problem is that people won't find the ways to help themselves properly, that is why psychologists are still needed. (1)

These methods, seem fine. But they lead to harm over time. Not only that, they also differ person to person. I don't think it matters that governments don't have good track records, because all that would happen is them covering the costs. Ideally...

And... even when it is? Not that many people have a good friend group. They just get hurt when attempting to bring things up. Even beyond that? Friend may have their own ways of handling stress... but it generally is self taught. (2)

@SirContro But it isn't. There are people without a support systems, those who aren't able to make one, or even talk to it. So, so many reasons as to what makes it inaccessible. (Part 1)

@SailusGebel I am glad you think of it that highly. There is good reason as to why treating it professionally is about as hard as becoming a doctor for other things.

Yet things like betterhelp, if done well are a positive. It doesn't rely on the person teaching themself ways to help, using people who should be certified to help. If the alternative, is being self taught? Then that is better. But it doesn't manage to. Betterhelp decides to do poorly because it...

Same as any checkup with a doctor. But it needs to be treated that way. While self help knowledge is important for everyone and needs to be accessed, to practice and use it? It is the same is needing classes for CPR. You need more than the baseline knowledge to be able to help. (Part 2)

I generally feel making post secondary subjects more available is better. For example, the ability to access sciences like astronomy? That should be available even without needing to go to school. Psychology is the same- to an extent. But it also is medical. (Part 1)

I apologize for having you feel like you needed to write this. I will do my best to improve, I apologize if it happens again but will try my best to notice it proactively and change how I am saying things to be less harmful.

Thank you for this... I'll try and do what you suggest and honestly do understand (the human parts, not the communication. I am studying psychology after all). But I guess I don't know how to apply it online? I at least do not understand how I can present opinions on subjects without seeming...
