Do You Have to Go Through Your Own Trials by Fire?

As a mental health advocate, you have to go through your own trials by fire. I think that there are a lot of self help people and self proclaimed gurus who might not have gone through anything. But until you've walked a mile in someone's shoes, you have no idea what the hell that person has gone through. And so you got to struggle with whatever you're struggling with, and then come through it to become the better version or best version of yourself.
