R Twersky explains that he went into psychiatry because he saw that previous generation would come to his father, the Rav, for business/emotional/medical issues but the new generation goes to lawyers/therapists/doctors, so he decided to meet people where they go.
So, therapists are there because people are asking for them.
Is it just the people at fault that they are not going to rabbonim with all their questions? When R Twersky suggests asking a Rabbi on a non-halachik issue, he emphasizes that the rav have to be knowledgeable in the area or have an expert he will consult.
Maybe our rabbonim are not well prepared to give such professional advice? Amoraim discuss issues related to donkey riders and pumpkin growers, revealing reasonable knowledge of those trades. Most discussions do not record calling farmers to provide details, rabbis are prepared (and often are in business themselves).
Are current rabbis prepared to discuss real estate or corporate boardroom or college profession issues? some yes, when the questioner provides sufficient detail. I got myself, and heard others, getting excellent rabbinic advice where business issues involved human relationships, and I saw not-so-good advice where Rav made presumptions about human life that do not hold outside of Rav’s circles. And, I also got humble answers such as – I do not know an answer, but my advice would be … I was not able to resolve this myself …
Anyway, if the issue is not urgent, one can always start with mussar seforim and read them together with someone knowledgeable – and maybe practice some of the advice there.
