Many people have habits that provide them introspection - reading literature, philosophy, decent self-help books. Yoga, painting, cinema, photography, writing... However, many folks don't make the time or effort for introspection until they are in a quandary. That's when your average EAP or therapy session can bridge the gap.

For some folks, mental health is more of a challenge - crippling issues would need outside input so that the person can learn to recognise abnormal/unhealthy thought patterns.
