In one way it doesn't sound "so bad" & we can all be prone to it, hence there'd be little point to apologize...this is a bit, what I sense in the def.
However, if someone tells me, I should go see a psychiatrist, it infers IMO, that I've got a problem.That psychologist B might think I am alright, while A thinks I am really "sick" is another thing, happens all the time, as I've been told or read...this is also, where I have "problems" with the profession, too many varying yardsticks, what's right & what's wrong...too much
relativity...so that either almost everybody is alright or really screwed.
In old days I would have read: A., "you're out of it"...being said by a leader & I think most of us had shrunk in despair, being hit...
Apart from that it triggers the question in me, whether C. used the term as refering to "cult-problems" of A. (didn't notice that??!) or having a problem, to see another persons opinion,
adding new information to the old own one...
As C. is a professional in that area, I must assume, that she used the term to the best/fullest of it's meaning???
