Should I go to a psychotherapist? 4.2.3.5.6 > 39

[Spezzaneve]

It's been a while since I contemplated this idea, now the situation it's unsustainable for me. I asked I ching if I'm doing the right thing contacting a psychotherapist and got 4.2.3.5.6 >39

I'm sure I am the young fool but the response with so many changing lines and resulting hex in 39 is giving me some perplexities.. What do you think I ching is trying to say to me?

Thanks you all

Playing off of the Wilhelm translation:

4. I am so uncertain how to proceed in life. I keep asking for help but all I get is, "Persevere, persevere".
4.2 I seem to be able to handle the basics okay but..
4.3 I get distracted so easily I don't know who to trust or what to believe.
4.5 People who know me seem think I'm okay but...
4.6 I think I could use some guidance.

So..

39.
Would it further me to see a therapist? It furthers one to see the great man.
Should I turn my attention to myself to mold my character? The superior man turns his attention to himself and molds his character.

Nothing in this reading sounds to me like it's saying you should not see a therapist and personally I think it can be helpful to see one if only to dispel the myth that your life would have been so much better if only you had! So I vote you do it.

Line 4.6 is interesting in that it says (Wilhelm), "In punishing folly it does not further one to commit transgressions. It only furthers one to prevent transgressions," as if to say that in order to move forward it doesn't help to dig up the past and beat yourself up for all the things you did "wrong" back in the second grade, rather you should find a therapist who focuses on eliminating circumstances that might cause you to do wrong now as in getting rid of temptations - which you may find if you think about it you can do a lot of on your own. Like you're a lot less likely to fall off the wagon if you don't have any chocolate in the house to begin with.
