Reply To: Every Psychologist Needs a Psychologist

Many if not most of psychologists and social workers needed a psychologist when they were younger. They had problems and for the most part got over it and now would like to help people out dealing with the same problems. Thats why most psychologists specialize in a specific mental health issue for this reason. (Such as if they had addiction issues they would specialize in that etc. This is actually beneficial for the patient as the therapist knows exactly what they are feeling, and know the steps to overcome the problem that have proven correct.
