Why can’t we just do therapy on ourselves? Why do we need an external person to help?

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?

I believe that in most cases we wouldn’t choose to need therapy, we’d choose to be well adjusted, happy, and healthy.

For whatever we reason we couldn’t and didn’t make that choice, so we need an external viewpoint to help us see why.

Just like learning a new topic, the knowledge comes from outside of ourselves, which we then learn from and aadapt.

ELI5: you weren’t born knowing how to tie your shoes. If you didn’t figure it out on your own then someone needs to teach you.
