Incredible. I wish you the best!

I’ve listened to a lot of Jordan Peterson and always felt he had skeletons in his closet but unlike many people, he was able to admit to himself they were there. Attempting to exhume and properly bury these skeletons over the years has led him to the degree of self understanding that he attempts to share through his work.

He's a clinical psychologist. What you describe is common enough that it is a stereotypical snarky joke -- often made by psychologists themselves -- about people in the field. It is probably true that people are attracted to the field in the first place because they are trying to work things out, and their training reinforces the tendency. A clinician who routinely prescribes drug therapies for patients will be aware of the dangers, but he will also see such treatments as routine courses of action.

There is no human without skeletons in the closet.

Heck, I played in rock and roll bands for 10 years . . . .
