    Yeah this guy is consistently defecting and giving bad advice. I don’t think they have any experience with the current job market, economy, or just the state of capitalism in general. Psychologists aren’t even the right people to go to here, you need a career specialist for that. If they said to get more qualifications instead that would make more sense, but clearly they just want to add therapy to everything as if that’s gonna fix it.

      If I want to gain more qualifications but never actually spend time working on them, if I want a better resume but never even look up a phone number to call, do you think a therapist could help me get moving on those things I want to do?

        That’s a hypothetical scenario and not at all the same one you were describing earlier or the scenario the other commentor is in. Stop trying so hard to be right. Even this scenario could be explained by exhaustion from working your current job.

        It costs you nothing to admit that you made a mistake and that sometimes psychologists aren’t the right answer. You only need a psychologist for career based problems in very specific scenarios for example when mental health issues or mental disabilities impact your work. Outside of that is what a career specialist is for, they should be a first port of call for career based problems as that’s exactly what they specialize in.
