> do your own healing work, fix yourself
I've done that with my own personal issues, but I'm not sure it's the best approach for everyone and all the issues.
I'm close to 40 and only now I've been able to give a technical name to a personal problem that has been fuzzy for decades. I'm sure a trained professional would have seen that and maybe my healing would have taken a couple of years instead of close to 20 years.

I think his point is to focus on fixing yourself, rather than trying to fix others. He’s not suggesting that you avoid getting help from professionals to do so.
