We are a highly-intelligent species and yet we are often not able to resolve or often even recognize the stuff going on in our own heads. Why is that?

You could. But intelligence does not equal omniscience. The problem is that

1. You’re not a therapist, so you don’t really know what the source of your problem is, let alone how to deal with it.

2. Even if you were a therapist, you’re probably not in an unbiased position in regards to your situation. You have biases like it or not, and they will affect your decisions
