One of the biggest aspects of self-help is most certainly safety and it’s opposite, danger.
A huge chunk of psychiatry is taken up with the manifestations of this issue - anxiety, phobias, worry, self-confidence issues, paranoias, anger, violence.

…knowing there is an alternative.

Why do blue placebos make people more sleepy, while red placebos keep people more […]
