Sometimes this works but sometimes there are thought patterns or behavior patterns that are making you miserable, but that are so second-nature you can't even see them till someone else points them out. A good friend can point them out if they're perceptive, but some people prefer to go to someone who's trained to recognize them quickly and also trained in how to help you think/do things differently and productively.
