Counseling and therapy
From what I’ve experienced the people who refuse to go to counseling or therapy are the ones who need it most, they just won’t admit it

A person has to be ready for therapy. You could be presented with filet mignon and caviar, but if you just gorged on pizza you're simply not going to be able to stomach it.
It's not about narcissism or superiority or delusion. It's about fear, and sometimes the kind of deep fear that leads to resistance and even denial. But denial doesn't mean they don't see something; it only means they can't face it yet.
Therapy is always available, it's always there. It's useless unless a person comes with an open and willing heart and mind and absolutely magical when they do.
Maybe instead of judging others for being on a different stretch of road than you, it's more productive to understand they're walking their journey and will come to the things they need in their own due time.
