- it is possible to be too smart for your therapist
- most people are not smart, and most people who think they are too smart for their therapist are not smart
- thinking you're too smart for your therapist correlates pretty well with a variety of mental issues
- simultaneously some people really are too smart, and some segments of society / communities are even on average too smart for the average therapist
- when chris talks about this he's factually correct, and many of the people he interacts with actually do experience this as a real problem
- still there are many communities where people think they are much smarter than average but are absolutely not. in fact they are much more common.
- there is very little way for the average person to tell from the outside whether chris is right about his community
- basically if you think you're too smart for your therapist and you're actually smart, you're probably right!
- but if you think you're too smart for your therapist and you're dumb, you're probably wrong :(
- unfortunately it is very difficult to tell these apart from the inside either

if you're too smart, your mental knots will be too alien for almost all coaches and therapists to help with https://t.co/5QpTwiuwEu
