A member asked:

Are psychologists always right? and can you depend on them to know what's right for everyone and everything?

See below: I'm a psychologist. I don't know what's right for everyone. I'm not an expert on your life -- you're . When I'm meeting with a client in the therapy setting, it's my client's agenda. I'm there to guide a patient, to help him work through things, but not to impose my life experiences. However, when there are safety issues, then these safety issues take precedence over everything else.
