This is simply not right, though I sympathise slightly with your view.
As a practitioner myself, I take the trouble to learn about theory (and have
spent almost 25 years reading about relational theory) because it gives me
the skills and knowledge that--together with a *lot* of
self-discipline--have generally helped me to avoid using seductive but
misconceived product features that would get me into trouble in the long
run. I don't do it, as you seem to suggest above, just for spiritual growth
and self-esteem. The latter flirts with self-aggrandizement after all!
I should add that I've never been thanked for it. That's not good for the
self-esteem. But I do generally get to go home at 5 o'clock!
