There are certain aspects to any helping profession that can be tricky to navigate. Which starts with anyone who's reached the point of seeking expert help is already angry and suffering in some way, most likely.

Then, as you point out, the service provider is somehow beholden to the system. Although I have the credentials, one of the reasons I practice therapy mostly as a minister and spiritual life coach is that as a psychologist I am typically restricted from genuinely helping people.

Of course, areas like legal and medical also has many who are in their field for purely financial reasons, rather than altruistic ones. My job is to help people have better lives, but it saddens me that makes me the exception rather than the norm.

Bright Blessings!
