It is not that highly intelligent outlier men do not value "healing" - most of the time, they are well aware of their inherent issues. When it comes to mainstream therapy, they recognise that they are often speaking with someone who has lower levels of perception, awareness, and cognitive abilities - and who is attempting to advise them on matters they have already been tinkering and toiling away with since their youth.
Much of the frustration comes from having cookie-cutter conformist ways of thinking imposed on them by someone who usually cannot think independently and lacks the necessary perception to even recognise their own inherent reliance on authority. Then, they are subjected to repetitive basic "mental programming" tactics, which are hurled at them crudely - despite having already mastered the art of perceiving these long ago in the wild. This is followed by painfully obvious "observations" that are presented as "epiphanies". Furthermore, the practitioner is often someone who barely comprehends their innate nature - like a person accustomed to playing with dice attempting to solve a 12-sided Megaminx.
These men rarely accept information without questioning its validity - especially when it comes from a source they do not respect to some degree. Most of these men also usually end up adopting far more holistic approaches to health and healing as they progress in life because they see beyond basic constructs.
If practitioners with comparatively lower cognitive functions can be trained to perform such tasks, these men can typically assimilate the premise with exceptional speed. They are much better suited to being directed to resources and then discussing their thoughts with another highly intelligent friend - who is unapologetically truth-oriented, in a quiet natural setting, and who serves more as a quiet observer. As work ethic is usually a learned skill for many intelligent individuals who grew up in understimulating environments, personal accountability often becomes their other Achilles' heel.
Spot on. Sometimes reading your work feels like a spotlight passing over me. Intimidating, but enlightening.
