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?

Everyone does “therapy” on themselves to some extent: there is just no guarantee that you are always the best therapist for the job. Just like with massage or physical therapy, there are spots that are hard, or impossible to reach without external help.
Also, a good therapist knows when to refer you to a doctor, or another therapist when the problem is not something they can address.
Sometimes doing therapy on yourself means deciding you need to refer yourself to someone else for treatment.
