Exactly! And to be good in psychology, logical and analytical thinking is important. If a person is only touchy-feely, they can get lost in another person's issues by overidentifying with them and not analyzing the big picture (i.e., poor boundaries). For example, you need to keep your head on straight when faced with a person who's experiencing suicidal ideation. Being "sorry" they feel bad is rarely helpful. I know some in the program left because they were literally scared of some of the harder issues people face. Hey, it the issues were easy, they woudn't need professional help!
