Well, from a glace, that’s basically what psychiatrists do. Though, we don’t tell you to just, ‘get over it’. 99% of the time, you’re case is going to be more like, “What’s troubling you, and how do you feel about it?” Often, people have one issue that’s stemming from another issue, that can go on for quite a long time. Paul is having relationship problems with Susie because Paul is cheating with Sarah, who he gave Susie’s book to that was originally an item he bought just to impress Susie, but felt it was also his tool to impress Sarah.
 
It’s mostly convoluted, and extremely often the first issue someone is going to tell you about is a symptom or byproduct of a much different issue. That issue is often overlooked because, as seen above, Paul’s desire to impress others wasn’t causing any initial harm besides theft. It speaks about his insecurity and relates a lot to a ‘bad boy’ persona that impresses lots of females because it shows a fearless, or brave characteristic often treasured for it’s relation to protectiveness and willingness to do what others wouldn’t.
 
From this, you can see that psychiatrists are here to walk you to your answer. We probe you and push on topics that make you think about what’s causing an issue. It can be a small cascade of issues, like Paul’s, or a much larger cascade going back DECADES. (A common cascade is a family feud, and many of participants down the line are completely unaware of what they’re fighting about or for.) We’re hear to lead you to the water trough, but we’re never going to make you drink. We’re not here to force you to do anything, but to show you what would be best based on what you show us.
 
Also, a little advice. A great deal of the time, psychiatrists can detect if you’re lying about something or trying to hide it. However, they give the benefit of the doubt and ask questions like, “But is that how you really feel?” This question probes the brain by first presenting the fact that your own observations of yourself and your actions could be wrong. And, if you already know you’re lying, this tells your brain that the person questioning you is showing doubt or even already knows you’re wrong. If you double down, that’s your choice. However, we really just want you to tell us the truth. We’re not here to judge you, but to help you find what you need.
