I’m glad to hear the psychpology profession has changed since I knew anything about it.
Self realization is the cure for mental and emotional problems; I’m not talking about hardcore schizophrenia etc.
Re psychologists:
Self realization is essential for mental health, but sometimes a friend cannot understand the depth and breadth of trauma.
A friend will also ache for you, which can limit their effectiveness as a listener.
It also takes a great deal of focused time to self study, define trauma and address it with mindful techniques, or make the life changes required to ease the effects of trauma.
Some traumas become so visceral, no thought is involved. Just the smell of a hospital or a certain noise can send the body, mind, and heart into severe reflexive, instinctive reactions.
All this is a lot to ask of a friend. Dealing with trauma that has seeped into your body, your life choices, and your subconscious and instinctive emotional reactions to people, places, and things is something only a professional can deal with effectively.
I only bring this up because victims of the cabal will need professional help to become more healthy and whole. We should start fortifying those resources in preparation.
