I have to agree with the famous psychologist, Carl Rogers, when he said that we all have the answers within ourselves. Finding and searching our inner selves is key to his theory. Indeed, I believe that being at peace with ourselves is where much of true happiness begins. At the same time, though, I also agree with other psychologists who believe that making contact with others is a necessity for good mental health. Though we all need to find our own answers in order to heal from emotional distress, having a support group is great for encouragement. Not only that, having empathetic others around may help us to "work through" many problems. This may help to keep us from repressing them. It can also help us to realize that we are not alone in life, many others may have similar troubles. Others can also help us, be it directly or indirectly, find who we are. Finding that inner self can be key to coping with stress. It may help us to find those answers to troubling questions. So in turn it is likely that we are our own best psychologists, but support is certainly a plus that we all can benefit from.
