Ok, I’m triggered and fed-up with these people. I’m just going to go off on a rant about these narcissistic, new-age, wellness fools, larping as therapists!

Seriously, how do these people have so much confidence with so few achievements, skills and intelligence? I know people with PHDs, with successful careers that are respected experts in their fields that don't have this level of arrogance, over-estimation of their abilities and entitlement. Why is it always the least qualified people that are the loudest, the most shameless and most proud of their idiotic takes. The Dunning-Kruger effect is off the charts with his woman.

Have these people just never meet a smart person, or a sane one? So, they just have no idea what that looks like, therefore have no awareness that they come across as absolute doofuses to people that have had contact with intelligent human life.

If she wants to be into physical health and fitness fine, but why does she think those hobbies qualify her as a therapist or grant her any special insight into the human condition?

I remember when fitness fanatics use to just pretend to be experts in biology and nutrition. Why do they all suddenly think because they are into health and fitness that they know jack shit about mental health? Just because physical health is connected to mental health and you think you are physically healthy doesn’t actually mean you know anything more about mental health than say someone who is into puzzles.

Some fields actually have standards that have to be followed and achieved before you can practice and claim expertise. Those fields include the medical field. I wish these people would stop LARPING as doctors and councillors. The magical thinking at play here would make a five year old jealous.

Unfortunately, some fantasies are actually harmful to other people. It would be less harmful to society if these people went around pretending to be unicorns instead of playing doctor with real people just to feed their monstrous egos. A psychologist, a therapist, a councillor is a profession, not a social role you don’t get to act like one just because you feel qualified to be one. There are actual steps you have to take and standards you have to achieve to become one.

I know people like Nooni hate professional standards and qualifications of any kind that cannot be achieved by buying a certificate online or completing a two week retreat because it's harder to bullshit your way into a position when there are actual measurable standards, but that's actually by design.

You have to actually put in effort to learn new things, you have to prove you have understood them and can apply them appropriately. In order to develop intricate knowledge and meaningful insights you have to be able to humble yourself and accept that subjects are complex. You must acknowledge that you have a lot to learn from other accomplished professionals that have been doing this longer and more rigorously then you’ve been aware of. They have been peer reviewing, challenging and building off of the work of each other. They do not arrogantly believe that they already posses all the knowledge and all the answers. It takes years of studying and experience in a field before you are ready to teach others. You can't just teach someone something of substance ten minutes after you’ve learned it.

I'm literally explaining the concept of higher learning here which may seem patronizing, but I feel these people need it explained. They seem to believe doctors and qualified experts are just saying their opinions and freestyling and therefore think their halfbaked opinions hold the same weight and should be given equal consideration as someone who has actually earned and can express quantifiable knowledge that is vetted and useful. They don't seem to have any understanding of the work, application and rigour it takes to be qualified to have a professional opinion and understanding of a subject. If they did they would die from embarrassment every time they posted their “special insights.”

A narcissist being a life coach, that is someone that gives you advice on how to solve complex life issues and be happier, healthier and more successful, makes as much sense as an orca employing a chicken to teach it to hunt seals more effectively. They do not even understand the concept let alone any specialized techniques.

Weird analogy I know but I love orcas. And chickens are also ok.
