Can you explain why just giving clients direct advice in therapy isn't as effective as helping them understand their patterns and choices?

Giving direct advice for me is a no go zone.

My life
My choice
No one likes advice when the part of the brain that makes choice is heightened. It's like telling someone whose been stabbed to stop bleeding. It makes more sense for it to come from them and gently challenge them if it starts bordering into unhealthy territory.
