To me, this sounds very controlling (why does it remind me of the Bush administration?
). I wouldn't tell a person who is dealing with depression or anxiety, or any other emotional challenge (okay, maybe not schizophrenia) that they're not qualified to face their unpleasant emotions on their own, without the "guidance from someone with the right experience." I wouldn't want to add more anxiety or depression to someone who doesn't have the resources or desire to employ an outside source to "help" them feel better on purpose.
Having a guide or helper is a great thing, but it is not necessary. The universe provides us with tools to contain or enflame our own fire, as we see fit. We are not 3 year olds (except for those of who are three years old.
).
