Oh, I completely agree with you that we all have choices in life, and that liberation from crisis is 100% personal responsibility. I'm not arguing that they're not, and the advice you give is sound, but perhaps the manner in which it was conveyed was perhaps a little commanding or even harsh at times. I've worked for many years with people who have depression, anorexia and other severe psychological conditions, been through several life crises and I know that often the manner of delivery is as important as the message itself.
