the fact that psychology majors don’t have a reputation as being particularly charismatic or good at relationships or even at managing people is a pretty damning indictment of either academic psychology or college or both

by the way you could substitute "psychology majors" for "therapists" or "meditators" here and i think it would still be true 😛
in all three cases there are substantial selection effects. people are drawn to these practices because they can tell they're really fucked up

tbh the mind is weird and you should not expect "controlling" it to be easy or straightforward -- and that's what you're implying they should be able to do . control people's minds . which a good psychologist doesn't want to do in the first place .
