Wow,”It takes a strong person to admit he has areas that need improvement”. While that is true there are plenty of other people who get help even if its REALLY hard for them to admit that they need improvement. They might not even be the ones pushing themselves to get help it may be someone really close to them pushing them to do it.
And if you want to argue that you can’t force a person to do something they don’t want to do, well there are plenty of people out there doing things they don’t really want to do and they’re just doing it because they’re either pushed or forced into doing said thing.
For sure its easier if the person you’re trying to help improve actually “wants” to improve himself, but just have you have people doing things in their lives that they would rather not be doing, you have people seeking professional help even if they may not “really” want to do so.
What about keeping secrets from people? I sure hate having to do that and it takes a whole lot of energy to keep the secret. So, you’re still saying (in a way) that getting therapy or “improvement help” is something that should be kept under wraps because other people don’t want to hear about it or don’t know how to deal with it etc.
