The problem with this is they are practicing like medical providers without any quality assurance or controls to ensure they are behaving appropriately.

Therapy is already a bit of grey zone… you can have anyone from a psychologist, a social worker, an untrained deacon, etc “counseling” you. This is worse.

Hell, I’ve been a coach in different settings - players will ask for advice about all sorts of things. There’s a line where you have to say “hey, this is over my head”

Kind of reminds me of an interview question that a friend of mine suggested for when I conduct interviews: Pick your favorite/strongest language. How would you rate yourself, where 0 is "complete newbie" and 10 is "I invented the language"?

My friend, an EXTREMELY competent C++ programmer, rates himself 4/10 because he knows what he doesn't know.

I've interviewed people who rated themselves 9 or 10/10 but couldn't remember how their chosen language did iteration.

Sounds like a bad question then, no?
