I’m an engineer, and there are times I am trying to solve a problem and even though I’m smart and know all the info about the problem, it is incredibly helpful to have outside input from another perspective.

I imagine mental health is the same, your brain thinks a certain way and it’s hard to come up with new ways to fix a problem when you come up with the same solutions, but having an outside perspective leads to clarity you couldn’t come up with alone.
